Kinda funny, too, but for a different reason is Surfers pilot Mike Sorokin almost having his helmet sucked off at speed (center).

This is Fenn's workshop. That's Fenn at far left overseeing work on some of his K-88 and TE-448 chassis

Another vintage chassis on this cool twin. Always amazing to me to see how primitive the early driver-protection devices were

Who says you even need four wheels or three wheels? The famed Leffler-Coburn Iron Mistress coupe had six! Here’s a true example of the sum of the parts not being equal to the whole. Neil Leffler & Bill Coburn each took the fuel-burning Hemis from their competition coupes and paired them for this interesting experiment.

We've seen lead weights and tubes filled with lead shot as front-end ballast, but a rock?
Check out between the front tires. Clearly, the Red Mountain Boys knew how to rock.

Anyone know who this is?
