You know there are hundreds of photos ranging from a United States flag(which I posted on a very appropriate day) to a jalopy of yesteryear. Some of us grew up in the era of old coupes being built for sportsman and modified cars in the 50's and 60's. Then you have the guys that grew up with the full bodied cars of the 70's and 80's. That leaves the plastic bodied cars that I call spring loaded chassis cars by the way they load the chassis under power in the turns .Now comes the fun part, there are a lot more of the old modifieds out there that people have pictures of and cherish than you can imagine and i guess im one of those that love them ,but at the same token the 70 and 80's modifieds and sportsman cars are equally intriguing to me too. So to hear someone say we hogging the show on racers reunion with all our coupes or with all the full bodied cars on here cannot be seeing the whole picture here. the site is about racing from our past and it goes I think 1990 and older. I have a ton of photos and one or two--dozen video clips still to put on here ranging from the coupes thru the late 70's and I enjoy every one that others put on . Just think of what it would be like if Robbie r Andy or Rj didnt put any photos on here,im using those names because im sure they wouldnt care, but dont fuss about us putting our photos on here.we are proud as pie of our treasured past memories. If you think we are hogging the show just wait we will runout of pictures then we will harp at you to download yours . One day we wont be here and then all you will have of us is our --------------memories

I love them all...because you're right, Johnny. they represent the beginnings of this sport. We use what we have title "The Vintage Racing Gallery" to house the best of the best. for those that don't like wading through the mods and coupes...they can browse the over 13,000 pic in there. The real answer is for the guys with stock car pics to pick up the pace. Ed Sanseverino has really picked it up lately posting some classic photography. I say bring it on...bring it ALL on. We'll appreciate more and more as the years pass. We (you the members) have created a fantastic living, growing historical document to be enjoyed for years to come. some day...when $$$$s allow we will re-design RR with more abilities to categorize our content...and we'll be able to separate the photos even more. Can you imagine the job that will be to go through thousands and thousands them.For now...if folks will properly title and and fill in the tags...it will help in searching specific eras and types of pic. I greatly appreciate the contributions of all the folks who have gone through the effort to share their history with the rest.So all you folks with piles of Stock Car pics....get em scanned and uploaded and even out the load...lol. I'll enjoy every one of them.Jeff

In the 50-60'5 few people took picyures or have kept the ones they had. The later photos are just more availble. I would hog with older photos if I had em.Just enjoy what we got.
