OCIR Program

Caption reads..."DAVE BOWMAN learned a lesson, never loan your motor. He got it back, but not in the same condition as loaned.
Rounding up parts might keep Dave too busy to make this meet."

Sullivan

Mike Sullivan's new ride...the question I pose, why this paint scheme? How come the old Stars and Stripes paint job didn't come back?
I think that would have had this car booked solid, if it even vaguely resembled Mike's old car!

and yet I forget again...no photo credit

Bradford

Now, here is what I think is the classic stance for a Fiat Altered. Randy and Dexter Bradford's Fiat, Irwindale 1969. Probably with Frank Harris driving.
