Great photos!

Could we have some captions please?

[Ray Bell]

I see one of the Barrie Watt cars there, I think that's his Offy...

Somewhere I have a pic of Barrie with his whole crew from the fifties around the car he was racing at the time. It's a time warp thing, a replica of a photo taken in the day, but they're all fifty-odd years older.

And where is the pics of Robs ex Bohlander car?

And where is the pics of Robs ex Bohlander car?

That is the odd thing. For some reason I didn't take one. Probably because I am familiar with the car and have seen it numerous times. Doesn't make sense really does it?
