'67 Camaro AIX - Vintage road race retrospective

[Leroy Rochester]

Real quick, a couple of fun pics...

Yes, I am wearing an EZ Wider shirt in that picture. Most appropriate for the amount of smoking that went on about 10 seconds later!

Bonus points if ayone can identify the red '69 in the background and the location of the photos.

Wait a sec...this car looks familiar to me....did you live in San Francisco during the 90's-2000'sDid you ever have work done at G-F Automotive in SSF? Did you know Steve Pardini or Mike Marsh? I may have talked to you. It just looks familair but I have terrible memory.

I lived in the Sunset for the first 6 months of 2001 and then lived in Mill Valley from July 2001 through April 2003. Then moved down to HB and have been here for the last 11 years. Steve Pardini's name sounds vaugely familiar to me, but I didn't have the car up north other than to strip it so I could drop it off at Maeco. I did have a guy named Vash, who claimed to be a race mechanic from Romania and who lived in a van, help me a little bit up there. Guy was as crazy as they came and was always hanging around at Sears and Laguna.

I've found a ton of pictures for this thread. Resizing them all is sort of time consuming, but I'm working on it.

Man... I miss this car. And let me just say it now, since it will become something of a catch phrase in this thread... "F*ck boats!"

That's funny. Other side of the park right? I was on 17th between California and Lake for 6 months.

Yep. I was in the Sunset. You, however, were in the Richmond.

Been awhile I guess.

My memory is awful! And as you know you're absutely correct! Haha. I'll chalk it up to getting a 2.5 year contact high from living in Marin.

Friday nights up at the Petaluma dirt oval were always a great time. All my redneck buddies from back home would trip out that I was "in San Francisco" and still found a way to catch a dirt modified race every week!
