Action sequence an axle shaft breaking during racing around a corner


When turning around this corner the drivers side axle snapped, the tire locked up, and the #18 slid to a stop just out of the path of the racecars that were following


The crash and rescue team didn't know what the problem was, and thought they could push it off the course a bit further... not gonna happen with a locked up tire

Encinitas car cruise is a source of cars I don't see at the more heavily photographed closer cruises



A compare and contrast here








Why bring dogs? I don't get it. Isn't a crowd of people difficult enough to walk around in without pushing a baby carriage with dogs in it?




To the right of the bottle opener (cool thing to have on the dash) is Jimmy Shine's autograph
Umm. . . he is the newest custom hot rod builder at So-Cal Speed Shop http://www.jimmyshine.com/bio-index.htm

Nice Plymouth custom! It's gonna be great when it's got one color





The ashtray for the back seat passengers.. yeah, obsolete as the choke lever, I know


I like the contrast of the 60's headlights and fender vs. the 08. Why do they continue to carry on a name when the next generation has no resemblence to the original? The only common factor I can think of is that they both have 4 tires.














Above: still my favorite duece for the paint scheme
