Not sure what rule the Dale Earnhardt stock car photo violated; can you give me a clue? The photo was taken by me in Nov 1995 and has no copyright...
More 1944 WWII German stuff
Anyone recognize this? Nashville, TN 100K station ads.
Some stuff my dad got in Germany during December 1944.

Man, memories flood in; I flew back from Iwo Jima to Naha AB in a smelly KB-50 in 1960 and was it loud. 4360's sounded like out of tuned bull...
Actually, the guy I hauled for would not allow me to run Moon because it would have been in the Fed pin of caught, but bonded booze was only a...

Whenever in Austin, after living there in the mid-1960's, I would stop in some joint on Congress Ave and listen to him live. A great axe player,...

I remember a drag strip in Dalton back in the 1950's. Is it still open or what? Ma6ybe it was the old one over in Dallas, GA.
My first time in the life of a mechanic came sometime in the late 1940s, maybe squeaking into 1950, when my dad and neighbor did a valve job on...
Thanks for the info. Oh well, met my wife in Austin and we spent some hours at that track in 1965-66. Jeff

Some OT, but here it goes; do you remember that dirt track out on 183 just past Bergstrom? When did it close? Used to go there in the 1960's...

Street rods came before my time but I started getting dirty working on them in the 1940's. We were real hot rodders who working from scratch and...
