Today we have the third part in the very popular feature series, WHERE THEY RACED, which is a documentary series that reunites the ghost tracks of Los Angeles with the cars that ran them and gets the families of the drivers, historians and experts to tell the tales that give this history a victory lap by preserving these fading memories.
Episode 3 begins at the start/finish line of the Santa Monica Road Races which ran from 1909 – 1919. Then we take a detour with special guests Don Pullen (Eddie’s son) and Huell Howser at the Corona track. And finally we finish the episode back in Santa Monica on the long Wilshire Blvd. straightaway – but we don’t get back to the start/finish… that will be in part 2 next week.
The photos below will give you a preview of what you will enjoy on Episode 3 of Where They Raced. In case you missed it, Episode 2 (scroll down) can be found here.
Excellent. Compliments to the pit crew….
Paul, Thanks and happy to know you enjoyed it.
Just brilliant – I’m really enjoying this series – thanks to all those who put it together. Loved the bit about Don Pullen telling Barney Oldfield about his dad beating him
When will Southern California bring back the races? Where is the Los Angeles racing museum? Save our history Lindly Bothwell did it in the 1950′s we can do it today.
