some vintage pics

Ive got dibs on the last one, an old dirt racer.

 

...very cool pics, thanks, where are those cars that need saving,...in Illinois?

 

these shots are islip (RALPS RACING) westhamton(dimini and shepard) and the rest are island in jersey and a few of national speedway,, the house on the hill, is island,still there they own the track

 

Thanks, Great pics!

 

Those are leaf springs not strap steel.LOL

Fun pics for sure.

 

Those shots with "Car In Tow" on the back remind me of flat towing my buddies' 67 Chevelle back when we were teens. Gettin' to and from the strip was sometimes more exciting than the racing itself.

Something else that amazes me is most people used cars for tow vehicles. I guess that just proves how much better cars were built then too.

 

Great pics, love the old drag shots!

 

GREAT drag photos. Nothin beats the early/mid 60's drag racing scene.

 

Great photos,and we will forgive those two "late model blondes"!

owner of pics lives in PA, not sure where he lived when they were taken.

 

They're called eyebrow mouldings. They were hard to find in the early '60's, and almost impossible now, unless someone started making repops..........Woody
