After the boards….

This is a great shot of the Culver City Board Track after the boards have been taken away and the grading for the neighborhood streets has begun.

No new trailer this week…

No new trailer this week… too busy prepping for Turkey Night where I’ll be interviewing race legend Parnelli Jones, Dick Jordan of USAC, Steve Lewis of Performance Racing and his #9 car and Tim Kennedy who has been to 48 consecutive Turkey Night Races! Also I’ll be visiting with Jim Miller (son of speed guru Eddie Jr.) tomorrow to look through his vast photo archives.

Instead, here is a pic of the 1958 LA Auto Show Queen…

LA Auto Show

Went to the LA Auto Show Press day. Met up with David from SLOTMODS – they recreate slot car tracks based on real tracks – pretty sweet. I’m talking to him about doing a version of the Beverly Hills Board Track for the film.

Also got a TON of vintage photos of the Auto show from 1920’s onwards.
