new color photos of 1940's dry lake bed hot rod racing

(Actually this one is a "new" picture. It's of the Reelers c.c. out of LA, taken within the last 3 years. AJ Elias commented) Well it has an old vintage look, it fooled me!

Well one black and white photo had to find a good place to be posted. Not like anyone is going to complain.

Photos from http://5window.tumbler.com/

Chris at Speed Seekers found 1947 dry lakebed racer color photos!

Update: (April 7th) I just found some more! http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/04/looks-like-el-mirage-in-1948-they.html

Would you believe the dumb bastards at Kellogg are trying to selll these images that we've already posted? http://www.kelloggautoarchives.com/gallery.html they do label each photo with owner, racer, date, location etc... but really, sell them? Sheesh.

All from different posts by Chris over at http://speedseekers.blogspot.com/ which has some NSFW stuff, so don't look at work (like that'll stop anyone!)

Last week I posted a gallery of 1948 El Mirage racing http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/on-lake-in-48-oh-wonder-and-amazement.html
