If when you went to the shoe store to buy back to school shoes and they had a Shoe-Fitting Fluoroscope.

So that one's not older than dirt because it has a bar code on it but the same thing was in the back of Red Rider comics.

 

I had almost forgotten those things. My mom didn't like them because she thought they would mess up your eye sight. Cancer was not a big concern at the time.

Yep.....I started in May of 2003.

 

Oh God that was so much fun!!! 35 of those little Leaker's nose to tail bumping & banging their way around the track leaned over on three wheels. What fun!!! :biggrin5: Thanks for the memories.

 

...or if you remember driving your own Le Car to see the Le Car racing series.



Yeah, it was orange with the stripes, black wheels with chrome trim rings, and two huge round Cibie driving lamps atop the rubber bumper...heater was horrible, winter drives were very chilly.

Drove it twice to Lime Rock for the Camel GT Memorial Day weekends back in the early 80's to see Patrick Jacquemart's Renault R5 Turbo GTU car and the Le Car series race...which eventually became the short-lived Renault ALLIANCE series after which Renault faded from America.



The early days of my mini envy... :cornut:

 

Remembering when a young low ranking enlisted man could afford to add KONI and Stebro to his English roadster.

 

I am old enough to remember Patrick Jacquemart & those R5's. He was a great guy & head of Renualt's USA motorsport program. That was his GTU R5. He raced in the IMSA RS series with an R5 & then built an R5 on steroids to compete in the IMSA GTU class. He was killed testing with it at Mid-Ohio in 1981. Rip Patrick....

 

Mark Donahue used to frequent a shop in Chester PA near where I grew up. The shop had one of his red, white and blue AMX race cars there to show off from time to time.

 

While attending the 1970 Trenton 200 USAC Indycar race, I was a lad of 15 and was banished to our station wagon because USAC had a policy at Trenton that you had to be over 16 to be allowed in the oval's infield...that policy also included NO WOMEN allowed.

So while waiting for the green flag back in our Chrysler wagon a car pulled up right beside my open window, parked and the driver got out, smiled and said "howdy son!"...yeah Mark Donohue, wow Mark Donohue said howdy to ME!

I left the confines of the car once the race started because there were no tunnels and no exit from the infield until the race was completed. :ihih:

 

Picture Pages! Picture Pages!
Start your day with Picture Pages.
Time to get your crayon and your pencil.
Fill your day with Picture Pages.
You can do your Picture Pages,
'til Bill Cosby comes to do a Picture Page with you!

Note: I'm sad to report that I couldn't remember the entire song on my own... Google had to help me with line #4!

 

I watched I Spy a lot...
How about The Man from UNCLE?
