With Russ Welch's passing, I dug out some old photos I have of his club, The Valley Volks Klub.  They had a racing contingent that had a grudge match/test and tune at the original Irwindale RACEWAY on Wednesday nights, and they were a social club as well, having driven their cars to the beach, events, camping, etc.  Here are just a few of the many great shots.  Makes me wish I was there.  I hope you enjoy them as well.

That's "Big" Al Martinez and his Aztec kit car.  He had a body and paint shop and later promoted some VW shows.

Once I get a little time, I'll post some more photos.  They really are a time capsule.  Like Jim, I like the first photo a lot, but the Tshirt on the girl is pretty cool as well.  Anyway, keen eye Sir Licks a Lot!

Wow! Those are great pictures and really shows what it's all about....Good time and friends hanging out playing with their cars. Motivates me to get off my a$$ and get my car out of the garage once again. LOVE that Aztec kit car too (And I am NOT a kit car guy). Thanks for sharing! Cool

Boy, that photo has it all.  A motorcycle, some bugs and what appears to be a Pitts special.  Did they land that thing on the drag strip?
