Who knew Mickey Rooney was a cross-dresser.

 

Did you ever wonder what happened to Kramer from the Jerry Sienfeld show? Well, here he is. Hot rods, sleeping under the stars on old Army cots, that's what it's all about. Wouldn't you like to be able to go back in time and spend the weekend in a place like that? One thing I noticed about these pics as compared to pics from this years speedweek is the size of the people. No fatties in the old pics, right? Thanks for sharing such great pics...post 'em if you got 'em!!

 

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

Holy shit- that is Kramer. Weird, I hardly ever miss a look a like. If I was going to go back in time for anything, it would be that knuckle.

 

AWESOME!

Thanks for posting.

I can only imagine that in 60 years someone will stumble onto some pics of the early HAMB Drags and see the same smiling faces reflecting the good times had with cool old cars and friends.

 

All the photos posted have ended.
The photos were from Ray Morrisette collection. The prices ranged from US$9.99 to US$310. The '32 negatives I posted cost US$100 for the 2.

Kilroy, that's funny!
