Default Old Offroad Racing Jeepers!
I wanted to share with the older generation on this forum. I was digging through some pics at the house and found these two pics of my Wife's Grandfather Richard "Dick" Dahn out at Riverside Race Way in Southern California back in the Day. He was a Jeep guy all the way. Multiple Baja 1000 and 500 races in a jeep, as well as a race around the world in the 70's that he won. He was an awesome Man! Enjoy!
