    This might have been Ed Robinson, no relation Doug Robinson, who owned Horsepower Engineering...not sure though....

    From the Mickey Thompson stable...side-by-side blown Pontiacs, 4-wheel drive...guessing that this is the NHRA Nationals...anyone know more about this car?

    $_57.jpg
    Lions, BBC, no ID...anyone??

    Hydrometer, that's how the big guys measured their nitro percentage...we little guys just added a gallon of nitro, and a gallon of methanol, or sometimes just a gallon of nitro (when we could afford it)...Mike Kuhl, maybe OCIR??

    lions.jpg
    McEwen & Adams at Lions...probably early Saturday before the night crowds got there...

    From Drag News, 1957...Dean Lowe has commented on this loud yellow coupe, still in a garage, unused in decades, how cool would it be to see it restored (or just to see it...) made the cover of R&C in the mid-50s

    At the hit of the throttle, Lions, BBC

    We will argue indefinitely about who the best pure dragster driver was...lots of names, but Jack Chrisman has to be close to the top of the list....

    Not sure what's going on here...Jack Doyle's blown Chrysler gas altered racing a "vette"???


    upload_2015-4-1_19-7-8.png
    Boyd Penington at San Gabriel, 1957...another guy who should be at the top of the list of great drivers, gas altered, fuel altered, fuel dragsters....

    Willie...what was interesting was that Willie Borsch was driving the Harrell Engines red roadster that day, but note below who else was competing:

    Mousie Marcellus was also there racing his street roadster...wonder on that day if these two guys guessed that they would later become partners on the world's most famous fuel altered?

    Unknown gasser, looks like "Reath Automotive" on the door...
