Vintage shots from days gone by!

"Pencil-thin moustache, tattoo, hairy arms in my short-sleeve shirt, half helmet with no roll bar. Yes, I am cooler than you will ever be."

 

Chain drive, It's how I roll.

 

I remember walking into Andy Brizio's Champion Speed Shop in South San Francisco, and both of these cars were there in the shop. That would have been in the early 70's.

 

Looks like the Babs land speed record car that was buried.

 

There really is a car under there ( moderator didn't like my ass picture )

Great Video! More cool cars than I would have thought.
All young people, no lawn chairs. Thanks for the memories.

I raced at Muncie Dragway in the early 60's. One Saturday night they put a big spotlight behind the start line like this.

 

If the driver was able to walk away from this one, I'll bet there is a HUGE Brown stain on the drivers seat.

 

what is the big X above the car?
