We're 350 miles from there and can barely breathe because of the smoke.

We've got your smoke here in Northern New Mexico, believe it or not...

 

Pacific Coast Highway where the old light house was next to the Long Pier.

 

Toledo....says right on the front...

First ejection seat for "back seat drivers".

 

Mike Nazaruk pulls out of pits in, I believe, 1953. Andy Linden can be seen in the background with his hands in his pockets and wearing a Champion 100 Mile An Hour Club leather jacket.
