Done. I have not bought a magazine for some time. This is a worthy cause.

That is so cool. I have found many people from that era are like Alex. At least the older car racer guys I have met. Sure there are many...
I would like to throw out that Don Waite was another guy off the radar. Fran, Vic and Don were working closely together to achieve racing success.
I agree with Sharpone. I recognized his name, and knew he was involved, but no knowledge of his legacy. The other person who is like this is Fran...
More great pieces of history. Great to hear about a successful individual without a loud mouth. He let the records do the talking.
Amazing. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the story.
What are you thankful for? Today I am thankful for Ryan sharing his archives with us. The early morning chair shot is epic. There is something...
Thank you for sharing the legacy!
Thanks for sharing. It makes me want to build a beater roadster. So simple and pure.
We had a speed and ratio/tire size calculator we used to get the details of gearing etc. We called it the "Dream wheel"....... [IMG]
More goodness.
Really great, above and beyond photo shoot and blog. I appreciate the before and after build photos.
Incredible!
My gosh, thank you for the education. I am having my desert expert ID the location of the testing. I know El Mirage very well and can say it is...
I went through the photos 3 times before I realized I had seen them already. Each time took me down a different mental pathway. Insane. Thank you...
I am glad you enjoy it. There is much more to come, life has just gotten in the way. I have photos and Dons archives and have most of it sorted by...
Again amazing. Ak Miller in there also. You can feel the family joy. What a dangerous track, that took some serious driving. Makes Bonneville look...
Another priceless set of photos. Great info on the Pegasus. I would like to hear your unedited version of the story. Thanks!
Thanks for all you do!
So much to absorb and process. You have to be ready for this. I need time.
They were all learning from each other. Don Waite had what he called was a "canoe nose" in 1953, and faired in radius rods. Other racers used the...
Thank you for sharing these gems. So much feeling and detail to absorb in each photo.
Nice.
Wow thank you for the photos! So many details to study.
The Palmdale Rd and 30th st photo may have been on his way to El Mirage, but I think he was going desert exploring at Bessemer Mine which is now...
I open up the HAMB "cracker jack box" each morning, because I never know what surprise I will get. I love this Tom Cobbs series. [IMG]
Again nice. I love the early overhead photo of El Mirage. Nothing was there. My dad used to pull a friends glider with his 1969 Ford van at El...
Again, Thank you! WOW!
