I guess I'll be the bad guy here. The cut off date for this thread is around 1968. It's been discussed (vigoriously). It's just guidelines, but it would be nice to keep the content close to the OP's intent. There is another thread for modern versions/recreations of old racecars.

LOL....Your mom is displaying the same look my then girlfriend, now wife, gave me when I took her that one time to the drags, a 32 car show at OCIR. "OK, we have been here an hour, when are going?"

^^^^ I attended high school auto shop with Paula's son (Dan) in the '60's. Paula is still alive and kickin' in Southern California, now in her eighties....

WCD · 10-02-2011, 07:22 PM

These 70's era floppers would garner much attendtion on the Classic Funnycar Board. Hell, some of the guys posting there either drove and/ or owned the very cars from the 70's that have posted here.

I think a thread on Paula should be started...she done a lot!!!

Paula Murphy is alive an well. I had the priviledge of hanging out with her at the Gas Up in Beullton, CA this spring. I even convinced her to sign the underside of my hood for good luck. She was a cheerful and gracious as I remember her from the sixties and seventies. As a So Cal drag racer I saw her run many times. She was a lot more fun to hang out with then the other lady drag racer.

Second photo is from World of Speed last month.

I know the last pic for sure has been posted a couple of times before but its one of my all time favorite shots and its worth seeing more then once.

Not Hedworth's. His orange wagon was a '55. Could be Tom's, he was the Stock Runner-up in '69 in a '57 wagon but I thought that car was destroyed in the crash that resulted in Tom's death.
