        Looks fun to me.
        It's amazing how things have changed, not only the cars but look at all the people in those crowds.

          however, this looks a lot like Bean Blossom does today.

                    I remember those days fondly-a time when racing was fun and you didn't have to be a zillionair to compete. In 65-66 I ran a Buick powered Model A at Beeline, Holtville, Riverside a time or two, and Lions once. We even won occasionally.

                          great pics, take me back to 16 again. The Renaults? I owned a Dauphine , my bro-in-law a 4CV. I'm guessing ETs in the minutes. If they made it to the 1320 at all. KP

                            Really neat oldies but goodies! I did not see any Studebakers, but did see several shots of '60 and or '61 Starliners going off!
