The bear on this racers helmet may be a Hamm’s bear. His wedgy soles are probably for a closed circuit, smooth track. They don’t work as well as a “shoe” but the’re better than boots with a separate heel…

Wedgy Soles

In 1984, there was a rally. “The Great American Race”. 3,000 miles from L.A. To Indy. Two older gentlemen decided to participate. They just happened to have been two of the Original Booze Fighters. They also raced motorcycles most of their lives. At this point they’re about 70 years of age. These two guys inspired many. Their lives are a template on how to age and still be the coolest cats on the block. God bless them both.
