Nostalgia drags photos New England Dragway

Here are a few photos from the Orientals Car Club race at New England Dragway on July 25th 2010. The day started off sunny and hot, but changed to clouds later in the day. They did get the full day of racing in with NO RAIN... IN.

 

The Country Girl F/C was in the display area. There is a nice article in the current issue of Rod & Kulture Magazine, about the restoration of this car.

 

The Spurr Bros., NITRO powered flathead dragster, driven by Tommy Steed.

 

Push Rods member... Pete Dayotas 1935 Chevy is a real strong running car. It reminds me of old Blown Hearse that ran in the mid sixties.

 

The blown dragster count continues to climb, with this new car.

 

Earl Storey's crowd pleasing A/FX Chevy II

 

A nice Willys sedan... I think it is from up in Maine.

 

Joe Sforza's awesome new dragster was a crowd favorite. Joe started this project last February, with a Brad Studley dragster frame. With the help of Scott Grecgo and Matt Wood, they had this car up and running by June. They have already made two trips up to Winterport ME. races.

 

Fred Hire, founding member (1957) and president of the Push Rods club, chats with Joe and Scott about his days running at the old Sanford ME. drag strip.

 

I will have a few more pictures tomorrow night...

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing them.

I heard it a was a great day from a bunch of the guys that ran, but I missed it yet again ...I better make it up next month!!

 

It was a perfect day up there. A lot of very nice cars showed up. Those two blown/injected 33 Willys were bad a$$ ! Had to leave early to go to a B-day party . Thanks for posting the pics. I'll try to get a few pictures up later also.

 

damit!! i forgot all about it!!!

i saw that willies sedan for sale years ago at the old cumberland show. was a good price too.

 

Here are a few pictures I took................great day at the Drags!
A few from the car show.

 

Old drag car........392 Hemi.

 

Here's some race cars..........................

 

As you can see, drivers must be in top condition to race these beasts.........

 

I would love to drive this thing..........

 

Coolest guy there............................Nailhead powered Henry.

 

Thanks! I am envious of the more period door cars that run in the midwest/east. All the gassers I've seen at the west coast meets just look like pro-mods.

 

nice pics, thanks for posting them.

 

This 40 Ford could have fit in well with the show cars, but was making passes all day long.
