Click on the icon in the far right corner and view in full size. Click on the YouTube logo and you watch it on YouTube if you like.

Your computer will run smoother if you do the Disk Clean-up and Disk Defragmenter. It may help with viewing videos. Click on start menu then accessories, then click on system tools, then click of disk clean-up, then clean all files on my computer, then at least click c drive or take turns on each drive if you have two. It will then come up with all the files that you can safely delete. When the disk cleaner is done move to the disk defragmenter, Follow the same as above except click on disk defragmenter instead of disk clean up. If your fire wall or virus program wants permission to run these click allow or continue etc. Click defragment now. Let it defrag. This may take hours if it has never been done. If it has never been done you may think you have a new computer when its done LOL!

Jim Berends & family have preserved some racing memories from 8mm film and have put it on a DVD. Todd White forwarded his copy to www.racingfromthepast.com and here it is for you viewers to enjoy on the forum and YouTube. Jalopy racing from the Hutchinson Kansas area from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Most of the video is taken at Mohawk Speedway and The Kansas State Fairgrounds. I will have several parts to this video. One segment will be on part 3. It is upside down, so hopefully your viewing on a laptop and can just turn it upside down, LOL. It is of some rails at 81 Speedway in Wichita/Park City. There is a real treat for some of who are around the 50 age range. Some shots of the 70's of some of the stock/latemodels cars that ran in the area. The #26 Coca Cola special owned. by Steve Dunsworth and driven by Hutch legend Dick Hendershot. Some more of the legends like Davey Oltman, Mel Potts, Henry Ellington and quite a few others you will recognize.

I'm still in the learning process for getting these videos to Youtube so you all can see them. I have had 3 or 4 e-mails. I'm trying to undestand this. I have downloaded a trail version of a converter program which is what I need and it is converting as I type to the right format (MPEG). I learned you can't upload DVD formats to Utube. The program will have a watermark on the video until I pay for a subscription. That will be awhile as we are in Bankruptcy at the present. Well atleast I have got copies of the dvd's and I can return them to Todd He knows you viewers will love to see them.

HELP ID THESE CARS ON THESE VIDEOS BY REPLYING TO THIS OR LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE ON THE YOUTUBE SITE.

I will group all these track together soon.
