Lakeland Raceway was a drag strip and oval track in Florida that resourceful road racing enthusiasts turned into a road course with the help of access roads. The Garage regular Lou Galanos took this shot in the mid Seventies. It looks like the sports racer has just outbraked the Spridget. That era was known for the ingenuity and inventiveness of racers, so I would be curious to know what the idea was behind the two upright posts and cross bar behind the windshield.

That’s a small “Tube-Mirror” common in the late 60’s a smaller version of the “wink_mirrors” used today. Notice there are no other mirrors on the car.
Cool…I didn’t think about that.
Head in the sand again!
