the funny stuff from the great variety at Parkoffka.ru


Parents should use this in the car they loan to the kids


Seriously? How much pot did these guys smoke to get the munchies, find that it was to late to get into the taco bell, and only the drive through was open?






Pretty clever, I wonder if other muppet and sesame street characters are as easy to make helmets into?








just a small sample of the good funny stuff at http://parkoffka.ru

Bill loaned me a couple videos... of the 1st Daytona 500, and the 1961 Indy 500, here are some things I found interesting

 here's the coverage that showed how hard ot was for fans to watch the Daytona race when it was on sand

 not very fun

 the #59 was a T Bird, and that is why I enjoy old Nascar, the cars were identifiable as something you could buy at a dealership or used car lot, and take racing yourself


 Helicopters over the corners

 Smokey Yunicks team was in the pits crewing on Firebalkl Roberts' Pontiac

 And these windscreen / airfoils are something I've not seen or noticed before

and in this old film, he wasn't called Richard Petty, he was call Dick Petty. More interesting than that is the nickname painted on the door, "Squirrel Jr". Richard was 22 years old

 He was in the pit row watching other cars race because he'd damaged the engine trying to keep up with the  sedans... they had a 10 mph advantage over his convertible

In the Darlington / Southern 500 he drove this Plymouth



 Dual shocks, and 9 plus leave springs
 above is a kids pedal car from the pre race parade, and it's telling t-birds to get out of it's way


and fueling was very dangerous, on the left of the screen are TWO guys with 50 pound CO2 extinguishers while the guys on the right are holding the fuel nozzle on the gas tank
 and at Indy, helmets were not boring, they had flying eyeballs, or sponsor stickers, or Dean Jeffries pinstriping
