A bit OT, but close enuff
Here's a pic of my Uncle Dick's hot rod. He passed away this last Sunday. The occasion was a Sefair Sportscar race at Bremerton or Shelton back in 1958, IIRC. The driver was Jerry Grant and he was first into the first
turn, by God  . Things went to hell soon there after....brakes went, gears 1 & 2 followed soon thereafter......there were only 3. I think the rear end finally puked after 10 or so laps.Note the taped headlights & all then effin' Stromgberg 97s. They ran Firestone Indy car tires if memory serves. ......
