preith Posted February 25, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Hi Rob, good to hear from you again. Heh, my first thought was current pics from the vintage racing scene, but I see it's vintage-vintage In that case greyghost has a treasure of old photos (and new) in his gallery, I took the liberty of weeding some out: Edited November 7, 2014 by Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 25, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 25, 2009 I like the U-Haul with a couple of couches and 20 people on the roof in some of the pics.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th-Z Posted February 25, 2009 Share #9 Posted February 25, 2009 From the 1973 American Road Race of Champions, Road Atlanta, Georgia. I sure would like to keep this thread "vintage - vintage". Maybe we can entice Alan into posting some pics from racing around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preith Posted February 25, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 25, 2009 That's what I'm talking about! This is turning into a good thread... Hi Phil! Long time no chat... How is the frozen North? Phil and I have known of each other since I was a Minnesotan... I had to leave when my nieghbor Jesse ran for Governor. Of course, now I have the Governator! The frozen north is just that, thankfully not as bad as last year precip wise but still below normal temps Actually, I believe we first spoke shortly after your migration to San Fran, you were very courteous! That was ages ago, I was a "wet behind the ears" 20 yr old then. Anyway, I weeded out a few more good ones from greyghost's gallery: here's Dan Parkinson's car: Here's Logan @ Blackhawk shortly after purchasing it, pre-yellow paint and still wearing BRE regalia. On a side note I feel very fortunate to race at the same track in a very similar car. On more than a few occasions some of the "old timers" there have compared mine to his, it's flattering. This one blows me away, I've raced against it at Blackhawk: Not vintage-vintage but I feel it's worth an exception, here's the same car a few years ago at blackhawk wearing the same paint!

Carl Beck Posted February 25, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 25, 2009 Anyway, I weeded out a few more good ones from greyghost's gallery: here's Dan Parkinson's car: That would be the 280Z body he used, after totalling the BRE #46 240-Z. Dan said he used many of the parts off #46 to build this car. Thanks for the pictures... Carl B. IZCC #260 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted February 26, 2009 Share #12 Posted February 26, 2009 In early 1984 I went to an SCCA race at Roebling road with a girlfriend's father to "work" as part of the pit crew for a local doctor who was racing. This was before I bought my 240Z and as a senior in high school I didn't really know anything about Datsuns. When walking around the infield someone pointed out to me that the car in the attached picture was raced by Jim Fitzgerald. I didn't know who he was but they said he raced with and was friends with Paul Newman. I knew who he was so I took a picture of the car. It's in black and white because at the time I was processing my own film. I'd completely forgotten about it until this thread came up and had to dig through a box of old pictures in my crawl space. As an aside, here's just one of the cars that the doctor owned at that time: http://www.ferraris-online.com/pages/cardetail.php?reqcardir=FE-250GTO-3387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
