Roaring Roadsters

in the early 50's we went to the races at the Oakland Speedway(In San Leandro)
Wooden track, probably had a lot to do with my facination with cars

 

Some Nor-Cal track roadsters.

 

Some San Jose track roadsters

 

Was just reading about the roaring roadsters in a Sept 1954 Hot Rod mag, thought I'd share.

 

Here is an 18 min color movie from 1948, filmed in Portland,Or and Seattle,Wa. Thanks to Zach for putting in on U-tube for me.
