History Crewl World - More than racing at El Mirage

No, I am no trying to show how fast I can chug a beer.

I wanted to pay a small tribute to Ray while I was there in the moment. On my chest is the wings he earned as a B-17 Bomber waist gunner. Last weekend I was in Palm Desert and the local air museum has a B-17. I just had to see what he was up against in those small quarters at 30,000 ft.

All I can say is no wonder those guys came home and were not afraid to do over 100 to 150 mph in their rickety roadsters.

 

Court, it was good meeting you out there. I'd like to see your shot's especially from Billy's roadster. I'll send you a PM.

You know the camera automatically adds on 15lbs!! BTW, Who's the fast bastard in the primered roadster. I don't recognize him?

Hey Ron. It's been awhile since I've seen/read this post. Thanks for the sentiment it means more now to me than ever since my Pop passed away back in February.

I sure am blessed to have made these memories and for my dad to be a part of it all. I also made a good friend in Billy Crewl.

Sincerely,

Chris

nice pictures!
have you ever wander why do a lot of hambers have beards???

 

Wow, great pics, and, without doubt, you really made your Dad very happy. You can tell in the pics, that, in his mind, he's 20 again. Your Dad's also got a great son, and he knows it. Congratulations on the trip of a lifetime.
