Ode to the salt and Bonneville racing

Via: http://kulturakustombrasil.blogspot.com/

Hello. Hope you are starting your week with a smile, here's a bit of help to lighten your Monday morning

To see Alfred Hitchcock posing on a bike is pretty cool

I posted the above Burning Man castle once before, and the below Citreon

I found these on http://riderideride.tumblr.com/

MIckey Thompson's 1969 Mustang he used to break 295 speed and endurance records

The Phil Remington dry lakes roadster replica, 29 Ford frame, 36 flathead

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.

New photos of Burt Munro and his first time at Bonneville have been found

above and below are the images that show Burt having just been given the sack of money that everybody donated to (love the comraderie of racers) that was a scene in World's Fastest Indian and the above moment was captured by another camera http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/they-passed-hat-for-burt-just-like.html

From http://www.jockeyjournal.com/?p=710 . The photos were taken by Jack Brady, and are in the Kellogg collection, and I came across them at http://chromjuwelen.tumblr.com/post/789278888/the-jockey-journal-blog-archive-the-passion-of

For all the other information and photos of Burt I've come across:

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
