Glenn MILLER is one of those guys who was where the action was in the good old days... But, Glenn was a photographer, and he always had his camera on hand! Today, his pictures are nothing less than treasures from a bygone era... Glenn is friendly enough to share his treasures with us, and you will find many of his awesome pictures on the site... In fact, I'm sure this nostalgia corner wouldn't be the same without Glenn's help! So, again, all the Cal-Look.com team join me to shout : THANKS FOR YOUR PRECIOUS HELP GLENN! Picture on left shows Glenn with Richard GUARINO of the late EMPI of New-York. Picture was taken in California in Spring 2003. Note the highly desirable EMPI of N.Y. Globe sticker in Glenn's hand... A collector today as I don't think that copies of these ones are made today... INTRODUCING GLENN MILLER from TRACK SIDE PHOTO...
Glenn Miller, Automotive Sports Photographer from 1958 through today. Glenn spent much time during those early years at numerous, and now legendary tracks in the Southern California area, including: Colton, Riverside, Pomona, Fontana, Carlsbad, Orange County International Raceway, Bakersfield, and Irwindale Ascot & Elsinore.
During this period, Glenn was one of the EMPI Photographers. As a result Glenn has accumulated over 5 thousand automotive images, including numerous photos from the original EMPI, Revmaster, Bug-Ins, and Drag Days at OCIR, and Sports Car Racing, SCCA, SCTA, Bonneville, NASCAR and Trans-Am, Can-Am Racing, and currently Madras Speedway, to name a few.
