Re: [HSS] Great American Race Finale

Unknown

Love that '28 Roadster! I'm really looking forward to more pics of it plus

shots of the race cars - anything that will help with my own racer has got

to be good. The project's stalled for a while as other priorities have

kicked in, but information gathering is ongoing.



Cheers........Peter R.
