This story isn't close to over yet so keep checking back.

Many of the photos came from the Lompoc Historical Society where they were donated by the wife of one of the long term racers. She kept a very nice scrap book of the races and race programs.

I also met with one of the mechanics last Sunday and he was kind enough to give me some of his pictures, which I was very grateful to get for my personal collection.

These guys maintained very close relationships over the years and have held reunions fairly regularly up until the last five years or so. Most of them are over 80 and many have passed away in the last five years or so. I am hoping to capture as much of this great history as possible before it's too late.
