Very cool. :thumbup

Gonna dig thru a few more, I would love to find pics of the car he was racing.

I need someone to help me setup my scanner (do it all printer), which is supposed to be WiFi connectable to other pc's in my network. I bring up the network visual, & it's not there....

I can't figure it out....:duh

So I've been helping my father go through some boxes of photos in the garage he hasn't been through in years/decades.

In the 60's he had a small 35mm camera he'd carry with him everywhere, he'd load it with B&W film, but because he never had a darkroom he'd go into a hallway closet, tell us kids to lean up against the door to keep it from popping open while he was developing the negatives, and then he'd print them late at night in a makeshift lab he'd set up. It was always kinda like watching a mad scientist at work.

As we're going through the pics, we find this one... he snapped a pic of Steve McQueen at Laguna Seca early one morning, he's not sure the year, but the file box 1965.

Good pic, Dad!

:cool x 10.

I thought this thread needed to be brought back to the front page.
Some photo from the Pomona parking lot superbike races back in the mid 90's.

As mentioned, that Pomona track was awful... mighta been good for a Supermoto race though.

Thanks, it was perfectly fine for parking a car or a bike.
Us old geezers need to get more photos up while we still can.

This Guy, sorry it isn't sharper. I had more trouble taking photos here
Than Laguna, I was not used to shooting so close, standing on a ladder made thing harder too.

I thought I posted a few Pomona pics to this thread just a few years ago, it was 7 years ago.
Where did my youth go? Who is that old gray haired guy staring at me in the mirror?

 

[Johndicezx9]

I know, this thread i started is 11 years old, and it seems like it was yesterday when I was scanning my pics. I always feel that in spite of (some of) the snotty things I've said to people here, at least I contributed something that's still going... :laughing

It's no "TruFlava" thread, but it's something... arty

IMO this is the best thread on here and also the reason I joined this website.
