Anyone who's interested in seeing pictures from Pittsburgh International Dragway and Keystone raceway should visit the following link: http://public.fotki.com/mastermodel...y-contri/bill-truby-photo-co/bill-truby-coll/
Bill Truby was kind enough to allow nearly 3000 of his photos from the 60's, 70's, and early 80's to be published there. Great shots of local racers and when the pros came to town. Many of the photos stay with the 'in motion' portion of this thread and well worth visiting.

 

My best friend Clayton Harris was killed 10 years ago today. We had some big times together. JC

 

Here are a few that my mom had in an old photo album......My mom, dad, uncle and aunt made the trip from Portsmouth, Ohio to Indy in 1966. My mom told me that they slept under an underpass on the the way there, and back. She also said my dad was pissed because they went the day they only had time trials! I know they aren't "in motion", but hopefully you will enjoy them anyway!
