So I am a new guy that has a lifelong love affair with race cars and hot rods. Being a rookie please forgive me if I am trodding on hallowed or previously covered ground. The 60's and 70's were an era where guys would dream of going fast, go to their garage, cut the fenders off the car, add header pipes and go racing. These guys that dreamed big were the guys that made us youngsters breathe exhaust fumes while 10W30 ran thru our veins. So fast forward to the 21st century. Nascar and Indy racing for all intents and purposes has become "spec" racing. No engineering. No guys with big dreams. No cool and better ways of making cars go faster. Just multi-million dollar teams running the same thing as all the other teams. And they wonder why folks are losing interest in the sport...... So anyway, this place has just had me thinking here about young folks these days. I think it is so great that some of these great old cars are still surviving and competing! I worry that todays youth will be lost to computers, video games and hand held gizmo's and we may lose a great part of what made all this so great and cool to begin with.... I dunno... Perhaps this ain't the place to express my disappointment in the current state of motor sports. So please forgive me if I am out of line here. But thanks again for this site, the photos and incredible memories.
