Yes, There Was Plenty Of Paint-Tradin' Race Action Behind The Iron Curtain

Have we ever mentioned that we love English Russia? It's like they knew we were going to review Cars Of The Soviet Union and put up this collection of vintage Soviet racing photos for us!

As we know, you must listen to the Red Army Choir performing the Soviet National Anthem while reading about Racing Heroes Of The Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics. That's the law.

For the greater glory of Lenin and the motherland! Er.. Ah, maybe not!
