Damn, I had no idea there were races at the speedway before the first 500 in 1911. Thanks for posting that pic, learned something new today.
I cruised Bellflower Blvd a few times. Probably where the pipes got their popularity. I had the hots for a lowrider hair broad. I was always trying to find her. Bellflower Blvd, Whittier, Long Beach, some I can't remember.
Everything about it is a question. Steering wheel, headlights, cut outs for the front wheels. IOW Why?
