Norm vs. TV Tommy

[YblockT]

I'd read that Norm and TV Tommy raced each others T-buckets (Norm said Ivo's injected nailhead left him in the dust), but kind of chalked it up maybe to urban legend. Now, thanks to Google, the Life magazine photo files have been digitized so we can feast our eyes on history in the making.

Now that is cool. Where did you find those at?

Wow, those are some great pictures.

Looks like a close race. I guess a loss by a wheel or a mile is still a loss.

I love the laid back driving style of both drivers. Looks like they are out on a Sunday drive.

Norm looks kinda small in his bucket.

I thought I had found something new but once again a day late and a dollar short :biggrin: I did see one other one.

What kind of front axels are those?Anyone know?

 

[YblockT]

Believe they would be late 30's Ford V8-60 tubular axles.

YouTube - "TV" Tommy Ivo Tribute

Thank you tfeverfred, that clip really brought back some heartfelt memories. I wish I could instill the feeling I experience when seeing clips like that or I experience when I'm climbing into my bucket into one of my kids. Advanced education doesn't seem to go along with the satisfaction you can get with getting your hands dirty while doing it yourself.

They'll get it. Just be there to catch 'em when they fall.
