He still runs like that. Wheels up every pass.

I have spent countless hours looking at this thread, and I'm still only halfway through it. The power of the HAMB is amazing. Thanks Royalshifter.

If I had to guess this is an attempt to get the driver away from anything that goes "BOOM!" or burns. 'Course if he gets into the wall he's gonna end up looking like Cotton Hill.

Found a few more Pics about Stan Byrd (dad) this is March 1967 S/S an F/X magazine. He was in some other issues , but hard to find them these days. Maybe someone out there has them

Thanks about the info , it would be awsome to find out if it was Auxier

Interesting as hell, but maybe there should be a 'stationary' thread as well?

I have an idea. Change the name of this thread to:
"History of Drag Cars in Motion.......Or Not."

That way, those with PC running thru their veins won't have anything to bitch about, won't try to impose their will on everyone else and the rest of us can get on with enjoying the best thread I've ever run across.

I believe that is the ex-TASCA Mustang but before Sam drove the car. I think it was Carson Hyman in the car then.
