Vintage shots from days gone by!

Hand push start at El Mirage. We did that last May at with the Left's Speed Shop/Bean Bandits flathead powered belly tank lakester (had no push truck available). That was our fastest run ever at El Mirage, 155+mph. We also had one hell of a tail wind.

 

One of the first cars with hidden wipers behind the hood....

 

That IS the place we went to when we were kids in the 1960s! I remember it well. There is another place called, "Sea Shell City" and my Dad always called it, "Sea Shell Shitty" for fun. It's still there in Levering, Michigan.

 

One day we will all end up as nothing but a snapshot ......

 

Potential stowaway.

 

Multnomah Falls 1918

 

Country horn and a City Horn !!!!!

 

Here are some more photos from negatives I've collected. the first batch are from color negatives that faded to mostly red, so they come out mostly blue when converted. A little adjustment, and autocorrect help.

Jimmy Bryan might have been the only driver to have driven this car in Practice during 1960. Owner Myron Osborn had tried to enter both Foster Campbell and Eddie Jackson as drivers but both were turned down for lack of experience. The car obviously passed Technical Inspection because a car couldn't go into the pits until it had its Tech sticker.

Rootie, Did anyone else drive this car that year? Thanks for posting.

 

I know a couple of these guys in Satan's Angles from the Bay Area.

 

Beer , you only rent it .

 

The last one is a view from the Lincoln Memorial, towards the Washington Monument, which is hidden by damage to the negative.

 

Is that a Curved dash Olds?
