[Meatloaf] Photos from Speed Show at Fairgrounds last weekend

[frank@cozmic.com]

A '68 Oldsmobile Delmonte with a 455 cubic inch engine.  Not being a
gearhead, I can only tell the story of racing a 944 Porche that finally
passed me while I was doing about 135.  No bar on the speedometer, but the
numbers stopped at 120, so it's a guesstimate.  I coulda gone faster, but
the road was windy, and although I knew it well, I also knew a bump was
coming up and I didn't want to go airborne.
