Old racecar photos

Found another site with great old racecar photos. Several hours of viewing ahead. Jr Stockers, S/Sers, gassers, 55-57 Chevys, Mopars, etc

One correction of page one:

The yellow GTX was not owned/run by Al Eckstrand, but was the car
that Tim Ekstand owned/raced and was later updated to a 1969-1/2 440-6 Pak
and campained in partnership with Bob Lambeck.

The car is now owned by Tim's son and daughter-in-law.

Man cars from everywhere! Dad need to see this...we talked just last night about some of the old car that he saw as a teenager when pappal races (65-71) I have a few photos of his car & his brothers if I can scan them I'll try to get them on here sometime.

Hope everyone is enjoying the photos. Here is one that the name on the door should ring a bell...

I look through this site and saw a couple of pictures of the Marv Ripes 57 Chevy Wagon. I delivered the wagon to a body shop in Carnegie Pa at the end of April in 1973. These picture were taken after Marv sold the car. I would say they were take at Pittsburg Internatinal Raceway. There are eight other pictures of the wagon on Fotki the Bill Trury Collection. In one of the picture the name Bob Arnold is on the left fender. He was either the owner or the driver.

Tom P..........I was curious about that as well. Bob says it isn't him..........cool car though and has got to be pretty rare in that configuration.........never seen one of those. Curious how fast they could get them to go as a stocker, and thanks for the photos........gotta love them tri-5's.
