Current photos of modern day "Nostalgia" race cars

Hopefully, this will help prevent Skips thread from being cluttered up with modern stuff (I doubt it, but hope springs eternal). This is the place to post photos of modern day re-creations, restorations, "tribute" cars, modern FED dragsters, nostalgia funny cars ect.

 

Thanks George,
here is another to get things moving. Glenn Lever at the inaugural NDRL race at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis (more commonly known as IRP by the racers).

Thanks for pitching in Rooman. When I get home from work, I will throw a few more up.

 

Here's the Rollin' Stoned 'Cuda burning the hides at ETown's Nostalgia Summernationals/Funny Car Reunion... Joe Jacono in the cockpit...


Here's yours truly gettin' the "real story" from Bob Rosetty and Joe Jacono regarding the resurrection of the Rollin' Stoned...


From Drag Racing Underground's FUNNY CAR REUNION RAW dvd

 

Might as well get on the first page.

 

We are running nostalgia events with our Opel. Hope it fits here

 

Perfect fit. Thats what this thread is for.

 

This is the race car of my hot rod mentor who passed away a little over a year ago. His sons continue to race it. Anyway, they won the Nostalgia Super Stock title at the National Hot Rod Reunion in 2009...

 

Man thats a bad ass ride. I love those little Opels.

 

Condors Rails. Absolutely beautiful pair!

 

Those little Opels can be somewhat temperamental at times, but they sure are groovy...

 

Me at the CHRR last year. Notice--no square cage or "high chair" seat.

Here is ours, we built it in the years 2003-2004. We have alternated between small block and big block power over the years. As you can see no ugly square roll cage or out of porportion frame.

 

My Hayden Proffet clone on the high tech trailer ready to go bracket racing against all the new Mustangs and Camaros.

 

nice start to another good thread.....

 

Thanks for the history lesson, never heard anyone talk about their "Plastic Fantastic", even though I've been going to the drags since the 60's.

Picture newer than 68, car older than 68.

Nuther one I really like.

 

You're welcome for the history lesson... I guess the "Plastic Fantastic" nickname for the Funny Cars didn't really catch on that well, though I thought it was kinda cool...

and there weren't that many Mavericks in the class, a few, but not many...

Today's blog... Stop frisking our kids!!...

Just for grins, me in my Anglia mid 70's. Early bracket racing, wasn't too bad pre-electronics.
Well I see the bottom of my coffee cup, off to work.
