He is self-proclaiming his post count, and "enhancing" it as well.  "Posts" is his actual count, and "Personal Text" is whatever he wants it to say.

Looks more like El Mirage dry lake to me, than Bonneville.  That is dirt kicking up from the tires, not salt.

I love the Blue Streaks.

Not sure where the best place to post this is…

Same link without the web tracking gobblygook at the end:

I've been buying the license plate mounting kits that use the tow hook receptacle, instead of drilling holes.  I like this better.  Most CA car dealers automatically install a front license plate holder.  They have asked me to sign a special form to state that I will be responsible for mounting the plate myself, before they will agree to not attach their holder.

Mine has front pusher fans, plus a rear puller fan, and I have separate toggle switches. The toggle switch for the front pusher fans is way over on the left, near the ignition/starter key. The toggle for the rear puller fan is just to the right of the speedo. I added a thermostat switch for the rear puller fan, got tired of having to watch the water temp gauge. The toggle for that now allows me to force the fan on.

The toggle for the electric fuel pumps is just to the left of the speedo.

I believe the previous owner of mine swapped the headlight toggle for a Lucas style two position pull knob, so I only have three toggles total on the dash.

I think it is also common to swap the fuel pressure gauge for a fuel level gauge. My fuel tank was replaced by the PO, it is around 24 gallons, and the replacement has one of the capacitive fuel level senders.

The Von Dutch artwork on John’s helmet is very cool, mentioned in the link above.

I think the last unidentified signature is by John Whitmore.

I believe the USRRC team car CSX2494 was at Pasadena, I am not sure if it was at the Ontario track.  Anyone have pictures of it from either location that year?

The address shown on the old registration, 4210 Del Rey Ave, Marina Del Rey, CA, is just across Lincoln Blvd from the old Carter Ave Shelby facility.  The CA license plate, letter combo ZLN, on the 69 Mustang is close to the ZLS plate that was issued to my father on the 69 Ford Van he bought.

From the Petersen archives, a GT40 based land speed racer at the Bonneville Salt Flats.  Anyone know the story of this car?

But I would not be upset if the page flipping option was removed.
