Old racecar pictures
Hey guys I would like to propose a new thread. I keep seeing pictures from people of old racecars and such coming up in people's threads and it would be great to have a bunch of these in one place. There is a lot of history that goes with our cars and great stories to go with a lot of these pictures. I love reading these and seeing the pictures as it really shows how much has gone into these cars over the last 48 years.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

Re: Old racecar pictures
Those are fantastic Keith. There are some great shots of your car in what looks like full attack mode. That big smile on Andy's face in the 510 and his GT1 car with the nose off.....now that is some rubber.
KiKiIchiBan it's great that you have old pictures like that of the car you are now restoring.

Re: Old racecar pictures
HEY...you leave the hair alone.....we came out of the 60's with long hair and it just carried on for a bit....
My 1972 wagon, you can see the quasi roll cage I had put in it by Green's Automotive. I was doing a LOT of gravel road trips up the middle of the Island, before the Island highway was put in and travelling quite fast you might say, on said gravel. Under that car was basically the African Rally suspension, modified, with Koni shocks and Michelin tires. I figured if I put it off the road or on the lid I would at least have half a chance of walking away, a lot of people did NOT on the back road, 100 miles of gravel one way. So, on a weekend to visit my folks in Telegraph Cove, I would do 200 miles of gravel, plus the wonderful windy paved road from Campbell River to Gold River.
What the wagon put up with was a testament to how good our 510's were/are. It got raced, did some ice dicing, slaloms and misc 4 x 4 excursions, kinda like Robyn does with his 510. It was pretty beat when I was finished with it, at had over 200,000 miles on it, with a ton with the original permutation of the Garret Turbo kit.
That airbox is still the one on my car to this day, 44 years later...YIKES!!!!

Re: Old racecar pictures
Then....there were the MR.GUTS years...100.00 club cars we dragged around the Province to beat upon till death....It was amazing how you can flog something and it will keep going. That Toyota had the engine seize 4 times, we let it cool down, and kept going, finally throwing a rod. The Toyota is up at Westwood, when we had unfettered use of the track for whole weekends...with the only stipulation..."Don't kill your selves!" We would camp up there by the original club house, burn up a tank of gas in our 510's on the track, party at night, drive the track at night, and try to kill Mr. Guts.

This is all pure gold! I'm loving the pictures! Keith, your stories about Westwood back in the day sound amazing. I couldn't imagine having that kind of access to a track.
