    Yeouch!!!! Is it just me or is he missing his left leg from about the mid thigh? I wonder if this guy survived?
     
  2. A very early shot of Little Red Wagon cutting its teeth at Detroit Dragway.
    Some day I promise, I'll dig out some early shots of LRW and CMG, maybe some others from the shop.

    (Far lane) First he does a wheelie when he takes off, then another when he changes gears! Cool! A double wheelie! I've never seen one that wasn't on a bounce.

    I am jealous of a bunch of you guys that were there that post here.(you know who you are)
    I always feel like I was born to late because the vintage stuff really has my interest.
    Must be why the need to want and build some.

    Unfortunately, crashes were and are a part of racing. But showing someone who was very possibly in the last seconds of their life is ultra not cool. Also, judging by that roll cage, I would bet it is not pre-68.

  26. I doubt if he had a transmission in that car.I think the wheelies were just fro stepping on it.Maybe I'm wrong.

    Workin' the clutch Gary. I think. After the initial launch the RPM's have to be 'woke up' again. Especially on a 2-motor.
