It's too bad that these were scanned from a standard camera with film so the images aren't as clear as they could be. I know that you would reckognize the gentleman on the far right of the picture walking away from the camera in the lower snap. My guess is that you might have even competed against him a few years back. He was my instructor for a few hot laps around Willow. First person to ever take my car ('86 grand sport '80) and scare me with it. This was at a 1 day training seminar given by Dick Guldstrand in about '89 or so. In the other picture, that's me in the red tank top, & a gentleman who worked for Guldstrand named Jim Skinner. We'll see if Sylvan can identify the cat in the middle. Thanks for posting these, Brian.

Hey, I can scan negatives into huge, hi res images!
-
Um....I don't have a clue....?
-

So this is someone who I am supposed to be familiar with? 'Cause nothing is ringing any bells.
-
I can't do anything at this resolution... who is that Gary?
-
Yeah dude, c'mon- who is it?
-
I tried e-mailing you a closer pic this weekend, but the e-mail addy that I have for you wouldn't work. It came back saying "Old people PISS me off".
I will e-mail it to you if you post it. I am thinking that you will reckognize him.

I will e-mail it to you if you give me a good e-mail addy and post it. I am thinking that you will reckognize him.

Okay, here's the pic that Gary just emailed to me. I still don't know.....am I gonna feel really stupid when you tell me who it is?
....Great, now it's not letting me up the pic either.
-
WTF is up with this picture? Gary, could your camera man stand any farther back?
-
No, I would never try and make you feel stupid.
I just figured from you insight into music.
Alex Van Halen, from the Van Halen band
-
No shit? How did you go from hanging with rock stars to Internet low-lifes like us? Was it drugs?
-
I was having a Grans Sport 80 built by Guldstrand on my '86 vette vert. I ended up having # 10 and Alex had # 8. Also met Eddie and his wife on one occasion. Eddie was into vans & pick-ups and Alex was into go-fast stuff & jeeps. Also met out there Mike or mark Tramp or Trump. lead vocal for Whitesnake, and the then business manager for LA Guns. Dave Carridine (of Kung Fu fame) was a training instructor sometimes for Guldstrand for some of his 1 day seminars. Jim Skinner The tall guy in the pic was a mechanic for Guldstrand at the time, and later partnered with another Guldstrand customer, owner of Grand Sport # 6 maybe, Mike Barnett, and formed an auto shop out in northridge called B & S automotive. Met Eddie and his wife out there one day with Alex. It was almost sort of like hanging out an MGM or something like that. Natty, I will E-mail you another pic if you will post it please. Strange as it may seem, Alex is one of the nicest people that I have ever met. Real stand-up dude. And for whatever it is worth, Alex is straight as an arrow regarding alcohol, drugs, groupies, and so forth.
But the answer to your question from a point A to point B standpoint I just ran out of the Benjies. I Was out of work at that time, and thought that life was just one big party after another. Definitely Glory Days. I can honestly say that my other car, maybe 2, went up my nose. After all of the hell that I have raised and all of the partying that I have done, I am very thankful to be alive. David Carradine was also a very stand up dude, very quiet and very nice. Not at all like one would picture him.

Oh no he di-in't!!
I most certainly hope that one could now say that "it's on".

I'll get down with him, it's not like I ain't had my ass beat before. Speaking of which, whatever happened to the Sylvan vs. Dathan bout?

I'd love to (for fun), but I don't think he'd be down.
