For Gearheads Only...Photos from Seattle Int'l Raceway...70's and 80's

Grainy old images taken with a cheap camera by a kid with no photography skills. ( me in those days )

I figure they are better here than stuck in the album at the bottom of my steamer trunk..

If I can find any extra info on the cars/drivers/owners...I'll add it into the mix.
