Since I discovered this thread a few weeks ago I spent evenings after work going through the pictures page by page. I got so pumped up I signed up and decided to share what I have. Nice to know we all have the same thing in common, the love of old (and new) drag cars!!

Anyone have any better pics of the 'Limelighter'? A 67 GTO out of the Minneapolis area in the late 60's. Supposedly a National record holder in either B or D Stock.

Many cars that I completely forgot about. Some AA/FX stuff and a few sort of modern FCs.

Also, check the section on Modified Coupe and roadsters too. 6 pages of 'em.

Imagine how much power a Hemi could make,without all that cumbersome valvetrain. The rotary valve setup is still secretly generating interest.

I remember Bill , I use to go viset him and he would show me all the stuff he was coming up with , educate me on all the hemi info and tell me tons of stories........good shit, miss him . Steve
