Truth in Advertising.

This is an ancient shot and hasn't changed in a long time.

If you awaken from a dream I hope it's about this place.

It will still be the same the next time u get there.

Did someone say 444 in a different post?

Here it is as it was.

What's the dog's name?

Very few ever saw the dog, let alone know it's name. You is OLD SCHOOL.

Matt, those were some of the best days of our lives and they all seemed like recess.

Don was SO COOL that nothing bothered him. An ALL KID crew and he raised record inspite of you.

Remember the foto of Cricket in Don's lap just before a run? Cook said in CYCLE MAGAZINE, the bike went straight but the dog wobbled.

The fellows that have his old trailer will love the shot of the Red #1 being unloaded from it.

Thanks for posting.

Note: Matt was with Don more that I was. He lived in the San Diego area and I live in Washington State.

Great Mr. Freud! Now, can you save some washed out photos with your magic software?







Is this a photo of you looking at the streamliner?  It seems familiar.

Subaru Freud, lots of stuff make that requirement....
Most of us are not foto perfectionists like you are... any image is a good one if it identifies the subject to an interested party... even the ones with snow in the air...
Keep 'em coming
See ya on the salt or at the 6  8-)

I do have a couple more of the Vesco Liner in another paint job.  We repainted the thing almost every year!
One great shot is with the 2 liners nose to nose Vesco and Bill Wirges!




This is Don and Mike Devlin pushing the bike up in line.


This is at the turn around I think, it looks like Bruce Flanders observing.


My little 500cc streamliner with Rosevelt Lackey driving, great guy and still running at Bonneville!

Enjoy!

Well I wonder where we buy a shirt like this? Would it be at the Municipal Traffic Court in Wendover?  Would that be on the Utah or Nevada side?

I wonder. . .if I'd be able to sell very many of those shirts.  I'd have 'em say the same as you see here on one side -- and www.landracing.com on the other.  Hmmm, there's something good in this idea.  Help me fine tune it, okay?
