When we had feet of salt

Me and Ak Miller

Ak Miller and Me with my go kart. Was a good idea but lots of salt in the eyes.

 

Outstanding pictures Thanks for posting them.

 

Ak Miller's White Tortilla. Ford gave him the car to promote the new Mustang.

 

That's some awesome photos. Lots of belly tank racers. Makes one wonder where they all are. Keep them coming.

Wow...first off welcome to the Hamb. You have had an incredible exposure to say the least to what this place is all about...enjoy meandering around the many interesting things. Your stepfather was an amazing man to say the least. I have shared some of his many accomplishments in threads here. I will let you continue your sharing of these breathtaking bites of memorabilia from the past and look forward to your additions to this most interesting Hotrod/Custom and Race site The Hamb. I am quite sure you have crossed paths in your travels with many of the membership here.

Life around here has just been ratcheted up a notch. Nice to meet you @jpierce

 

Magnificent photos! Hats off to your Mom, and to you for sharing!

Lot's of 'new' cars competing (Mustangs, Falcon, Vette).

Love that mini streamliner. Wonder where it is now?

 

Thanks for posting these great shots.

 

This stuff is gold, thank you for posting!

 

Fantastic photos. Thanks so much for posting them!

 

Wow, it scares me that I'm old enough to remember most of those cars and drivers, and makes me so happy that I knew a great many of them. In the last photo of jack Lufkin sitting in his Corvette, you can see, just behind the headers, our machine shop's name. Best new thread on the HAMB. Well done Sir!

 

First, thanks for sharing and welcome to the H.A.M.B..
