Richards Corner

Richard Parks is the writing half of the Gone Racin' column.  His partner is Roger Rohrdanz who does the photography.  Together they write and  photograph the history of the car culture and racing in Southern California,  the real birthplace of Hot Rodding.  Roger specializes in drag racing and car cruises, while Richard delves into landspeed time trials and auto racing.
