OK, Triumph guys, here's a picture (below) of a car I remember "back in the day" It's Anson "Doc" Baker's wild, nitro-burning TR3 autocross car.

I have dug through my old shoes boxes and scanned a bunch of old pictures that I had from the '60s and '70s.

Great stuff - thanks, Nial!

Brought back some of my own memories, though my exploits didn't come close.

First car was a '62 Corvair. Rallied it at LSU in '68 and '69, then got into VW's. The first car my wife and I bought brand new was a '73 Celica!
 
thanks! those are fun to look at. in 1969 as jr in high school sold my sailboat to buy a mga for $650. father said absolutly not. why did i listen.
 
Thank you so much for sharing those with us. I spent ages looking at your pictures. Looked like great times were had by all.
 
Great pictures and stories. I believe I saw Doc's TR3 for sale a few years back, it still had the cold air ducts going to the back where the radiator was.
 
Thank you so much.

The Trans Am brought back a ton of memories of watching Mark Donahue race at Watkins Glen (he drove AMX/Javelin for American Motors for awhile) and the the Mustang was the same one that I saw when my Mom took me to the World's Fair. I was 13 then and that was the coolest car on earth, except for the Vette.

Deja Vu.....where were you???
 
Nial and I are about matched in age... I was on the "other side" of Pennsylvania. Those pix are great! It seems that was only a month ago or so... I swear.

I purloined me mum's red '61 Falcon at age 16... she didn't like th' way it handled. It was a "Three onna Tree". As a joke I put look-alike Shelby stripes down th' sides: "GT 144"!!

....I GOTTA find a photo. Youse-guys would laugh yer butts off. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
 
Great photos!

Back in the day, we were "dragging for pinks" on an abandoned WWII base (Camp Claiborne) in central Louisiana.

Explain to your mother that some guy wanted to take possession
of her Hemi Chrysler just because we were "doing <u>what</u> with her car?" She kicked his arse and mine both. This would have been in the early, early '60s.

Again, great pics.
 
I really enjoyed this nostalgia. Thanks for taking the
time to compile and post these pictures.

And if you don't mind a correction to a typo, I believe it was Flight 93 that your friend Joe DeLucas was on September 11, 2001.

Thanks again for a great blast from the past.
