RIP Robert Hansen - the man behind The Crosley Report

Woke up Monday to some very sad news: my friend Robert (Richard*) Hansen died of a pulmonary embolism last weekend.

Blast From the Past

Looking through some boxes of club archives tonight and found a set of photos from the 1995 meet - two years before I'd joined. Was VERY surprised to see a photo of the '49 Crosley convertible I bought in 1998! 

I had no idea that the previous owner had been involved in the club, but that's the same license number, and it looks about the same as when I bought it. 

Hard to say for sure, but I'll bet the white station wagon in the background is the one I have in my garage now...

WILD Crosley Stock Car Race Footage Found

Indefatigable Crosley fan John McKnight sent me a link to this recently-posted footage of indoor all-Crosley stock car racing from the fifties. It is NUTS.
