when your rear wheel parts company with your race car and passes you in the turn, it must be Monday

Photo from http://5window.tumblr.com/ I think, it might have been http://motomania.tumblr.com/ ... I can't recall.

Funniest photo I've seen all day. While I'm on the topic; overheard at the car show today " this girl asked if she could get in my Minerva, so I said "Sure go ahead".. and waited til she was halfway in, and then said "I'm sure the owner won't mind . . . " and she freaked out.

new color photos of 1940's dry lake bed hot rod racing




(Actually this one is a "new" picture. It's of the Reelers c.c. out of LA, taken within the last 3 years. AJ Elias commented) Well it has an old vintage look, it fooled me!

Well one black and white photo had to find a good place to be posted. Not like anyone is going to complain.
