I've seen some people share photos like this before, so I thought I'd join in. Here are some photos I recently found of my Dad - I'll try and get more background, but I think they are ~40 years old...

I think those last two were taken in Northern California somewhere... (obviously in May 1963 for those)

Could your dad have ever crossed paths James Dean at any of those races?
BTW, one of my best friends has an MGA coupe his dad bought new in 57.

funny part is....if I had seen this thread earlier I could have named them all as well, and I'm 29. So you don't have to be old!
