The old man in the picture is Ted Ernst, who was once an extremely accomplished track and motorpace racer and has been a fixture in the SoCal track racing scene for decades. He's gone 60 MPH behind a motorcycle, on 50 degree banking, on wooden rims, with no brakes.
Why he's pictured with that piece of **** is beyond me. I assume he was about to throw it out.
