August 21, 1960 -- Police stop a Corvair on El Cajon Blvd. in San Diego. The women were part of a group protesting the closure of Hourglass Field, near Miramar after an August 8th accident that injured four people.
Kids cruised back and forth with signs, "We Want A Dragstrip." They were to get their way, first with San Diego Raceway in Ramona, then Carlsbad Raceway. Love the cardboard sign taped to the back of mom and dad's car.

I remember that night well, I had my 54 Chevy with signs all over it, with a car load of other "hoodlums". Got stopped by the El Cajon cops, they gave us a load of crap, but got I away with only a ticket for no lic. plate light.
