Kelly Brown. He raced a plethora of drag cars and was active on the local SCCA circuit. He was a Hollywood Stunt Driver too.

That photo has been around for 45 years looking just like that.
A somewhat wide angle lens makes the car slightly distorted, but that photo is real.
And Skip, this photo, no doubt, was taken at the split-second when the driver got out of it because of the wheelstand, but there still was power to the wheels. As you know, there's a fraction of a second that a photo like this with the butterflies almost closed is possible.
Thats at Lions in about 1965-66...the pinnacle of drag racing

He might be in the process of letting off a tad to bring the front wheels down. Could explain why they are part-throttle like that. "Driving through" the wheelie, if you will.

Edit: What Doug said.

TJ, you need to get or borrow the 3 disc Lions dragstrip DVD set. Wheelstands were quite common there.

That's MickeyThompson's twin Pintiac which Jack Chrisman took on tour in '62. I have 2 shots I took of it at York US30.
