Title: MFAWG.......(Glory Days)
Post by: stroh on March 09, 2007, 11:43:07 PM
The first picture I could find.  It's a Polaroid.  I had to scan it in, I can't resize it.

I call it, "In the pits".

It was after I lost the first heat.  We were talking about how to get in and out of the turns better.

More to come, when I can dig them out.


Funny.  When I look at that that picture, I see I hold my hands the same way my daughter holds hers, when I talk to her.

Gosh, I miss my Dad.

Ahhh, the blazing sun, the smell of exhaust, burnt rubber, and friction material, the sound of engines starting, restarting and then restarting again, the glint of a Craftsmen wrench in the sun,  the constant search for that extra 10th, 100th, or even 1000th to get a leg up on the other guy, and the waiting, always the waiting.

Just another day in the pits somewhere in America, or any other part of the developed world for that matter.

It's always fun looking at old pictures and remembering. A great example of Americana.

My Machine.

I'm still looking for the pictures of me with the trophies, and some action shots.  :candle: [sm_scratch]

They're packed away somewhere.

LOL.  I was what they call Man Pretty.   ;D

Well, it was the Seventies.  Although, I never could get it "feather" right on one side.

I wish I had those Samsonesque locks now.

Man, what a great picture.  Good call scanning it, it looks like it's starting to crack.

I have some old polaroids that I wish I had scanned because they've completely lost the image.  Some irreplaceable reminders of family and warm memories.  :'( :tears:

I never bought into the  "you were born into gaeness" until I seen this.  I have to apologize stroh for the off the cuff remarks, I now see you born with it.  NTTAWWT. 

















































Seriously nice pic...I raced MC's a lot when I was younger and have some cool pics of me and Pops.

The secret to this was to run your fingers through your 'Samsonesque Locks', starting just in front of your ears and straight back with JUST a touch of outward motion.

This move, repeated dozens of times a day, would result in that perfectly even, yet somehow tousled look we were all looking for in the post Marcia Brady ironed hair era...

Nice looking ride, as well.

There is a lot of truth in MFAWG's reply and a whole lot of sincerity that I find appealing Karma for you when I can find the proper buttons.

LOL.  I'm trying to figure out where to look.  :-\  I know they're somewhere.  I have to be kind of sly.  Karen gets suspicious, and moody when I tear the house apart looking for something.  She's a lot like Clive.  She runs a tight ship, and follows behind me with dustpan and broom.
