My guess would be 2 brothers. Most interesting. Are said brothers residents of the United States of America? |

Okay, here is the skinny... I purchased the OCIR sign yesterday... What was not said on the e-bay auction is that 30-ft long metal sign came apart! So, it actually unbolts into two sections; one 3'x16' and the other 3'x14'. The sign is heavy gauge sheet metal with an angle iron frame. On the bottom right hand corner, the guys who actually unbolted it from the wall, signed their names and dated it. Remember, the last drag race at OCIR was Oct 1983. The sign was kept at a Irvine High School shop class for years, until the guys at Victory Racecars bought it around '93 or '94. The Ivine Company, who actually owned the land OCIR was on, gave permission for the school to have the sign back in '84. How many of us can remember driving by this familiar sign on their way to the track.
