Vintage shots from days gone by!

After some research and some luck I have finally identified the guys in this iconic image .... they all went to John Marshall JR High and Pasadena High School (although then it was at Pasadena City College) as did I.

 

Didn't that building also hold the Firestone racing division, which was separate from the Gene White retail operation further east on 16th Street ?

 

Hey Gary, I gotta love that new avatar of yours. Those sunglasses really stand out and make you one cool looking Dude!

 

Thanks! I hope the glasses aren't "too much", I don't want to emphasize my nose too much. ? What do you think?

 

Gary, I think you are spending too much time on your neck muscles, and should work the shoulders more.
Great look overall.

Short lived Australian "Southern Cross" manufactured in Lithgow N.S.W.

 

The rocky soil and evergreens make me want to think these were taken at Puyallup, WA. I never went to the drags at that track, but I’m familiar with the ground in the region. It was a stone’s throw from my parent’s place.

 

Been there, done that!
