History Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.

MAY 23 1965. HALF MOON BAY.................................TOM

 

Is there a Willys gasser that Chuck Finders was not involved with?

 

King & Marshall??


Rare photo of John Smyser not crashing into the guard rail...twin blown Olds, similar to the Hurst "Hairy Olds," except unspring front and rear....didn't handle, sort of an understatement....this is at Bakersfield




Davis & Ingram, from San Jose...lots of photos of this car, for good reason


Before the star-spangled banner paint


Winternationals...



Jim Oddy, this car has been very well restored...at Niagara Raceway, racing Zakia and Clark, also from western New York state...ID by 1934coupe, thanks!


Jim Nicoll at OCIR...Der Wienerschnitzel was a hot dog chain


Nobles Car Club, Sioux City drag strip, probably mid to late '50s

 

Post 42023...The Mr Lucky car was from Cincinnati, but what track is that?

 

Jim Zakia and Clark (I don't know the first name) another Western NY car. Zakia had an awesome Willys and 55 Chevy that have been posted on here.

Salt Lake City. Yellow car belongs to Rex Marshall, he still has it. I don't know the red car.

 

I just wanted to thank everybody for posting all of the awesome pics!!!

 

I would guess Indy, one of the NHRA Nationals, partly because of how NHRA marked the staging lanes, as seen in photo....I'm not sure, though, anyone else?

 

I really think this looks like Muncie Dragway in Indiana. About an hour and half from Cincy.
