    I remember a few of these cars from back in the days before I owned my first hot rod. Thanks for posting these. Love seeing the old ones.

    cool stuff. I fear in the future there will not be any old photos of current shows and races since few people make prints and there are no negatives. I have had photos on CD fail after several years. they are gone forever, I had a computer crash a few years ago and just by luck I was able to get my many thousands of photos off the computer after it stopped working right.

    Simply Iconic.
    Some of the finest photos I have ever seen taken at Bonneville....
    What a photo record to be left for future generations.

    Does anybody have any information on this roadster??? This image is priceless.

    Who is releasing these images @Jive-Bomber? Are prints going to be available for the general public?

    Treasure trove of pics. Hard to pick a favorite, but the Glass Slipper has to be near the top. Thanks for sharing and can't wait for the next patch.
