Cheetah race cars.

Factory drag car running an experimental 400ci small block from Chevrolet.

Notice the Corvette GS in the back ground and the Cobra hauler.

Getting ready for a rain soaked race track.



What could have been.  I read that these cars equipped with fuelie small block from a Corvette could run with the Big block Cobras.

Couple on a early Indian twin.

Interestingly the 1914 NH plate is on the canister mounted above the fuel tank.

Proof that people will race anything!



All that black smoke reminds me of the modified diesel pick-ups I see running around town.

Vintage toys.

Not sure wearing a white suit on a motorcycle with a total loss oil system is a good idea.

Couple on a Harley.


Late 40s bike rally.





I bought the negatives for these images on Ebay.  I think I paid to much!  Not the best quality.  I may play around with my scanner to see if I can get some better detail.

Early 60s Benelli or Motobi.
