The Vintage Chevrolet Club Of America Shows Off Rain-Soaked Detroit Iron In Seattle

When commenter of the super-stars, Startlton_Heston, offered up some photos from the Lee Johnson Chevrolet 75th Anniversary Car Show we assumed there would be a dozen or so photos to throw into a gallery. Little did we know, although we probably should have assumed, Mr. Heston was insane enough (in the best way) to send us more than one hundred lovingly taken photos detailing 69 years of Chevy metal. Being Seattle, the VCCA meet was a little rainy. A report from the Omega Man as well as some more photos below the jump.

El Mirage Land Speed Gallery

While Speed Week at Bonneville may make off with the extra helping of land speed racing media coverage, one must remember that the dry lakebeds of southern California were pivotal in the development of American hot rodding and drag racing. The land speed show only moved to the Bonneville salt flats after the Air Force started testing top sekrit x-planes out at Muroc, now known as Edwards Air Force base. The brass evidently didn't want hot rodding miscreants taking any supersonic ideas or wrecked rocket plane parts back out onto the streets of Los Angeles. While Muroc remains off limits, the SCTA hosts multiple land speed races every year at nearby El Mirage. The last race of the season wrapped up this Sunday and dozens of record setting jalopies clocked some epic action. – Mike Bumbeck More »

Photos from the Salt: Bonneville Speed Week 2006 Gallery

Bonneville Speed Week, now past for 2006, is a photographer's fantasy affair. The dramatic moonscapes of Utah, tinted by low-angled sun and set atop a limitless expanse of cotton white, beats the steaming hell out of an ill-lit convention center for rendering well-turned hardware. Retinal neurophysiology scientist, Dr. Bryan William Jones knows a little something about eyes, and his were behind a lens for this year's salty f te. Don't adjust your neuromodulators, folks, the shots really are that spectacular. – Mike Spinelli More »
