Nostalgia Racing Pics

[RCE1962]

Found a website re: flathead engines.

Some nice historical black and white pics of some races. Just click on a few of these Photo Group links. Note black wheels and whitewalls....which was the way it was back then. Old school tough-look for these domestic cars. Sometimes the front wheel covers or hub caps were left in place as well.

I will re-create that look this summer with the 62' Impala.

In the 2cd drag world pics there is a fast back nova. I remember a thread about them on here.
I went to the wichita track some years ago to help a friend at a msra heads up street event. I would have never recognized it in the pics. Definately changed over the years.
