History Comp Coupes, All but forgotten?

I had no idea Cartwrights fielded a Comp Coupe!

 

Yes, Hop Sing was the driver!!

 

Norm Reis, Lick Em and Stick Em. The photo is most likely from Edgewater as Norm was from Cincinnati and Dick's place was his local track.

What about that trailer? Two wheel single axle?

 

I kinda like the front wheel chocks/holders on the trailer, very hi-tech.

Rooman you really are a walking ensyclopedia of historic race cars. Thanks for your insight in so many threads here. Pics kinda come alive with owner details.

I sure wish the nhra or somebody would bring these cars back! make a class for them, build a safe chassis, limit the horse power to 500 hp, old steel body, and let them run! have something different on the track and let the little guy back in. lets see something else besides the fiberglass bath tubs. ok I will shut up!

 

I'm with you Mr. Martin.

 

thank you dean! im glad im not out here by myself!!!

 

Mr Martin and dean you guys are not alone I would love to see comp coupes return as well I love dragsters and a comp coupe is a dragster with a body and these cars had style too

Hell, I'd like to see any kind of real amatuer drag racing return. I'm talking modified cars here.

 

Bob Brooks, possibly was once the Mailliard Reath car that Dave Crowe drove.

 

Amen.
