Speaking of "Tricky Dick" as he was called by those of us that ran with him or for the most part behind him, here is a pic of a model of one of his rides. Background rides are also models.

Chicago amphitheater, about 4100 S Halsted St just east of the stock yards it was the exposition center before McCormick Place & other venues were built. I babysat that thing a few times when they went for chow. Reminds me: I darn near got got squashed by Budweiser Clydesdales @ a sports show...

Since we are doing diggers this is Bill Keonig's (seated under the DA Speed Sport flag) 818 A/D circa 1964. The twin 409's were pulled when Bill became a track car owner / builder. One mill went into the #37 Chevelle shoed by Johnny Kapovich & multiple feature wins. The other went into the #1...

Way back machine.

I don't care how they line up when the green rag drops the BS stops. No worries #9 fans the newly adopted super wazoo abacus line up procedure will start RNJ2.0 near the front next Saturday.

Why watch rerun races? Unless your a young'n & have not seen them before you already know who the winner is. I stay busy in my workshop, no weekend racing = more time for R&D working on my perpetual motion device. If you happen to have a pilots license for flying a desk every day suggest that...

9.5 I recon it was a 10 but I missed a bit of it chasing my 2 Great Pyrenees they snatched my Pizza when I went to the can.

Was the Datsun a dirty orange color?

Some folks are Democrats others are Republican's my Dad was an Oldsmobile man he purchased a new 56. From what I can see of the front bumper it may be a 56.
