J.R. Bloom & Johnny Bloom
Rod & Custom Sept. 2007



I grew up in Southern California and my father had a passion for the cars. Buicks, Pontiacs & Chevy's.

My cousin Johnny is my age and we spent a lot of time with the Bloom's in Phoenix arizona. J.R. Bloom is a Arizona Motorsports Hall of Fame member and was a early drag racer and an important photographer with an absolutely amazing collection of photos and albums of images dating back to the very beginning of drag racing.
