When would this photo have been taken? In the early to mid-'90s?

Honestly. I don't remember. '90s I'm pretty sure.

The third guy from the left looks like a younger Mike Pence. He sure looks like he's having fun judging by the smile on his face.

Third from the left is Ernie Provetti, owner of Trinity. In the early '70s he raced slot cars on Team Tony P. along with Tony, Fred "Da Flash," and Punkinman.

Rosemont Expo Center hosted From the early 1990s to within the past 10 years. We had a Chicago Area Track Owners Association promoting slot cars and the (then) dozen metro area raceways: TrikTrax, Silky, and Dadds all displayed tracks along with Parma, Koford, REH, Prof Motor, TSRF, Trinity, and others. The Chicago Hobby Show evolved into the iHobby Show.
