Would that be the tall guy also wearing a straw hat?

Yes, Tall guy with straw hat. And I think the guy in the dark shirt with his hand on the tie rods is Ernie Mcglone, son in law of the owner of Weisco Pistons. Also I believe Pete Berlit is one of the smaller guys standing in front of Chuck Florian.

I could be wrong but thought that guy in dark shirt with glasses is John Morrow. He had been a employee of Rupp until starting up his own company building mini-bikes.
