my mom was cleaning out the basement yesterday and found some old photo albums with some reeaally old pictures in them. My grandfather was William "wild bill" Donnenworth. he raced dirt track, these pictures are from the 50's. I was really excited when i was looking at these and thought id scan em and share em. these are only a few of the couple hundred that are in the albums. hope you guys like em.


my grandpa and grandma. I never got to meet her, she died before i was born.


grandpa accepting a trophy. i think we have that somewhere around here.






The back of the first picture says "7-12-53 first race with new engine and new sponsors" second picture says "7-12-53 flipped over in feature race. taking 3rd place"


this is definetly my favorite picture.




my dad, uncle, and I all have a shirt with this picture on it.
