1960's Bonneville Series 1963 https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1963-bonneville-speed-week-photos.1120368/ 1964 https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1964-bonneville-speed-week-photos.1119314/ 1965 (this thread) https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1965-bonneville-speed-week-photos.1120367/ 1966 https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1966-bonneville-speed-week-photos.1119962/ I don't have a lot of photo's for this event. I think the 65 event was partially rained out for the first few days. A short time later the USAC organization held another time trails and some of the guys came back to run that event. Some of the photo's were not in good shape. I had to do a lot of editing to revive them a bit.

Thank you @jpierce for your continued sharing these visual memories with all the trimmings. I see Betty Skelton and your stepfather...these were good times. I believe your Mother radiated happiness to the moments captured you can sense that in the captures.
Thanks again for posting these EXCELLENT pix. These glory days deserve to be remembered. Way to honor the past!
@jpierce - Again just wow! ... Your mother captured some really great images from the 1965 Bonneville Speed Week event! ... Thanks for sharing them! PS: I hope you don't mind ... but I added your mother's 2 photos of the Markley Brothers P-38 Belly Tank Lakester to my The Markley Bros BELLY TANK: A Pictorial History thread.
btt for them what missed it the first time (including me) Hard to imagine it getting any better than this for the last year of HAMB-friendly.
