Chuck attended Southern California races in the 1950s.  He shot these photos "back in the day" and, as far as your webmaster knows, they haven't been widely seen.  There are PLENTY MORE coming!

Since the race events shown were before your webmaster's time, the historians among you can have lots of fun IDing the cars, drivers, venues and dates.  (Update:  I can't believe the great response from the racing historians.  The first four pages were solved within one hour of posting.)

A big thank you to Michael Jacobsen for help with most of the captions below.
