That picture I believe is in the Hot Rod before Gray passed or the one with his picture on it as a tribute. They said it used to hang on his wall as one of his favorite photo's. It's the magic muffler special I think. Way bitchin photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CURIOUS RASH,

old dad was right there with the shutter open when the magic muffler shit the bed

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Is that your dads pic?

My wife is from Puyallup, well, that's where she was living when I met her. </font>

[Paul]

no not my dad, but what kid wouldn't be proud to call Gray Baskerville "Dad"

http://www.dragracingonline.com/finishline/Images/grayscrack.jpg

oops, wrong picture http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[BELLM]

Notice how the driver is looking down checking to see if his balls are still there? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Thanks Rashy, cool pics!!!!!

[50Fraud]

There's a great night picture of another Fiat -- Mondello/Matsubara, I think -- leaving like in Rashy's picture: front wheels way up, back wheels off the ground, all lit up by the flames from the headers. Wish I had the picture!

[burndup]

Rashy, can you email me BIG versions of the topo grenading? or maybe post a link to where you got them from?

Thanks,
J

[mybeatupford]

i was lookin for a picture of my friend's dads old dragster that used to race lions and found this pic, thought u guys might like it.

[raven]

Where else would you be able to see the same thing happening from two different perspectives>
that's the same shot as Rashy's except from the back!

Oh, I see I'm an addict now...

[Paul]

I picked up a few videos of vintage drag footage and on one of them is Pure Hell in a barely in control take off where he actualy has all four wheels off the ground,

the front wheels come up, he lets off for an instant and when they hit the ground he stabs it again and the whole car leaps into the air!

-like your first picture of Nanook-

man what a ride that must be!

Paul

[J. Cougar]

So that's why they call it a launch.

[lurker mick]

Her's another great old blowup pic that the late Les Lovett caught at the 69 NHRA World Finals.
This time it was Ron Mancini's Dodge tranny explosion.

[negativeMatt]

I reckon the late &amp; great Wild Willie must have sat high in the seat, ( his balls must have been BIG )

The reason they put a wing on the car was to keep Willie from bouncing out of the car because they were so large.

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Burndup,

That is as large as I found.

If you right click the pic, then check the properties, you will see the path to the web site I linked it from. </font>

WE WANT MORE FRAGGAGE!!!

Once I found an old abandoned rusty truck in the hills, all rusty with weeds growing in it. Window in the block and a rod hanging out. DAMN, why didn't I have my camera! woulda been bitchin.

[mybeatupford]

yeah the guy who drives that wing express now (mike boyd) drives it just like old wild willy.i saw it get a lil sideways a couple years ago at CHRR in bakersfield. i used to race slotcars with his son a while back.

[34 GAZ]

Last year at the march meet he was doing a demo run and at
the half-way mark the front end lifted about 20 inches
of the deck. I was sitting in the bleachers at that very
point and i swear thats the first time i,ve ever seen
100 jaws drop at once.

[SamIyam]

Gray didnt take those pictures. Jere Alhadeff and Ron Lahr had a bet to see who could take the best picture. Little did they know the crank was going to fall out!

You can get your own copy:
