Found a couple old ones to share, starting with one of my favorites, Snortin' Norton':

TW, thanks for the link to the new FaceBook page. I'm trying to get people to post not only old race pictures but to also post the story behind them. It really makes the photo that much better. Also, please make sure to give the photographer credit. If you would like to me to put a watermark on the photo for you send it to me so no one else can claim it as there own. Thanks again, Rory Ward

David, I don't know. You posted on this page correct?:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vintage-Off-Road-Racing/14817...

Anything posted can be found on the right hand side of the page titled "Posts to Page" located Under the "About" section of the web site. Nobody has said to me they have been having problems. If you post them again and it doesn't work, email them to me and I will post. Give me a little info on each picture to post with it...who, what, when, where, how...etc.
