Holy cow! The Winternationals are this weekend. Daytona Speedweek is on. I think the Thunderbird Rally is this week (and I haven't sorted out when the first one of those was, if I ever will).
This racin' history stuff is demanding!
So what to do but put up a picture of "legal" street racing. Way back when (1963?) Jack Williams set out to go to the Winternationals. But to do that he needed a test run or two. So he did it on the streets (albeit back industrial streets) of Vancouver. And the newspaper took a shot of it.
As far as I know (and I know so little) Jack got a best appearing car trophy for his trip south.
Really Jack deserves much more than this snippet. And he will get more in future posts. But this is a start. A green light if you will.
