Catalina Grand Prix 1957

.





This video was provided by Centerpunch of Prospectors MC.
It was incorrectly labeled as the last race in 1957 because the last race was actually in 1958. It has been 52 years but this race is scheduled to run once again this coming December 4th and 5th, 2010. An official website will be launched this June with more details.

Former winners of this race were;
1951 = Walt Fulton, Tri 650
1952 = Nick Nicholson, BSA 500
1953 = John MacLaughli, Velo 350
1954 = Jim Johnson, Velo 500
1955 = Bud Ekins, Tri 500
1956 = Chuck Minert, BSA 500

Hot Rod Revival

.




























Bob Cannon shares his photos and memories...
"I drove the '32 all through college but finally had to sell it because of the cost of traffic tickets I was getting. Back then there was no sharing of citation information between cities, so if you got your 3rd one in Pasadena, you didn't race anymore in Pasadena, and so on until you ran out of towns. But there were lots of places to street race in every nearby town.."

























New England Nostalgia
Nostalgic photos from around New England, including Orange and Sanford Airports and CT Dragway.




























'The Way It Really Was'
An incredible collection of Nostalgic Bonneville, Drag Racing, Dry Lakes and California Hot Rodding photos. Just a small sampling of the never before seen footage, photos, interviews and sounds on The Dreams of Legends' new DVD 'The Way it Really Was'.





























Hartford Autorama 50's - early 60's
The 1950's were a time when hot rodding was in it's prime. These pictures show the true hot rods of the era. Cars that were cut down, hopped-up and all hand made using any innovations that were available to make them go fast. Thank You to Ron San Giovanni for allowing HRR the use of these Photos... and much more at : www.hotrodrevival.com
