Andy Brizio's photo vault, you asked for it

Great job, Halfmoon Bay drags. Raced there in the 60s,Crashed there in 1969 D/A.

 

wow!!!!!! thanks!

 

Terri,
I gotta say again, great pics and memories.
Great for people like me on the other side of the world!
I enjoyed meeting Andy and Sue at the New Zealand Street Rod Nats in 1997 I think it was. And then again at the California Hot Rod Reunion one year. I tapped Andy on the shoulder at the Doubletree and he showed me around and introduced me to all these people - it was just fantastic.
I have hoped to stay in touch better with you guys
Thanks for the memories
