Nice set of Corvette shots! Is that first one a '63 split window?

Thanks! It is a 1964 model.

Stylish! Just a reminder, there is also a group for Car Loving Pentaxians, including a thread devoted to Hood ornaments, badges, hubcaps, etc

More than 5000 American cars on an airstrip in rural Sweden, and it is a working day Friday. Saturday is going to be crazy.

I didn't know about this thread, but now I do I'll post some classic motorcycle racing images I captured last year starting with a BSA.

A 1973 Honda Elsinore CR250M being raced at the 2016 Aust National Classic MX Champioinships.


About the bike from http://www.pulpmx.com/stories/look-back-old-moto-mags/gps-classic-steel/hond...ry-pt-1-1970s:

In the fall of 1972, Honda unleashed a one-two punch that overnight changed their corporate identity in the off-road arena. The first shot was the XR75, followed up closely by this beauty, the 1973 CR250M Elsinore. Named for the historic Elsinore Grand Prix in California, the CR250M was the first Honda to feature a two-stroke motor. Lighter and more powerful than the four-strokes of the time, the two-stroke had taken over motocross a decade before. In Europe, the lightweight Husqvarna and CZ motocrossers supplanted the booming British four-strokes on the Grand Prix circuit and helped usher in a whole new era of motocross racing.

These make me feel both ancient and nostalgic at the same time Tas!
Coming from a family of 'Scrambles' and 'Motocross' racers I well remember the period of four-strokes being replaced by two-strokes, as my Father raced Velocettes when we were kids and both my brothers went into the Scrambles/Motocross arena during the mid 1960s.
I was the odd man out, four wheels were my thing.
Aside from the Velocettes we had an assortment of Tribsa and Rickman machinery cluttering up garage space, soon supplanted by various models from Greeves, D.O.T, Bultaco, Cotton, CZ, Montessa and Yamaha.
My youngest brother even attempted a (very) brief foray in 'dirt mania', at 'Tracy's Speedway' one Summer, not a rewarding experience at all.
Ed did win an Australian 125 Motocross Championship and numerous other 'A; grade titles, Rob remained in 'B' grade and thus avoided injury.!
They both rode a few tarmac events at Winton, Calder and Sandown, 'just for fun'.
Marriage and kids eventually removed them from competition, probably a good outcome for both, or rather, inevitable.
Today I own several 'Sports Bikes' that I run at the odd Track Day, which my surviving sibling regards as not very bright.
I'm a late bloomer I guess.

Love the images.

Thanks for the feedback John, I'll get some more posted in the thread.

Good to hear you're a rider too, I've got an '04 ZX10R. I've been to the paperclip for a few track days on it but none in the last ten years. Probably too old and slow now anyway. Still they're a good way of keeping your skills up for survival on the road IMHO.

Here's a CZ and a Bultaco for the fun of it.
