Re: Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.
Thanks Ross.
I knew you had some great old shots but I didn't realize just how many you had. I'll have to give you a call over the next few days and catch up. It's been too long between chats. For those of you who have seen Ross' posts on this thread but don't know what he used to drive, here are a few shots of his 'most famous' ride, a 4-71 blown, 186-cube, Holden 6 pack RED in the late 70s/early 80s. Cheers.

THANK YOU! Tremendous posting of my favorite drag strip. Spent 4 years in the late 80's/early 90's working with the Handlers, the all volunteer, non-profit group that has operated Bremerton Raceway since 59'. Prior to that a couple of other groups ran it, such as the Olympia Timing Association since about 53'. It's been updated quite a bit in the last few years; jersey barriers, in-ground wiring for timing equipment and P.A. systems, score boards at the finish line, a first rate food service, and concrete launch pads. When I was with the Handlers, it was still COMPLETELY portable. Everything had to be installed/taken down with each race, a huge undertaking. We could leave NOTHING standing near the FAA condemned runway at Bremerton National Airport. This year marks 50 years for Bremerton Raceway and the Handlers Racing Association. Long live Bremerton Raceway and the Handlers. Butch/56sedandelivery. |

Re: Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.
I was at Bristol at the 1965 NHRA Spring Nationals when the Hurst Hemi-Under-Glass made is debut.
Those were the days. |

Re: Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.
Thanks Royalshifter.
Looks like I'm still not working! A couple of shots on how NOT to treat a good-looking T.          The full sequence can be seen on the Recent Drags--Wild Side section of my website. Cheers.
