incredible pics. thanks for sharing. its interesting to see the gold camaro funny car with a vinyl top and stretched nose and factory styled painted nose.. (today all the character would be stripped off and streamlined to a blob of a shape). great to see a variety of body styles. I thought the black 55 with corvette caps was a great looking street car.
................"if you find yourself with an erection lasting longer then 4 hours"........its the HAMB McKinstry photo thread !!
these images are fantastic the prove it was hotrodders who were responsible for todays world wide dress code off printed T shirts and jeans,and it also shows that girls were not covered in tats
Nickam82- What a fantastic collection of photos. It brought back a lot of memories from my days of racing a D/Gas 55 Chevy in the mid sixties. THANK YOU so much for all the considerable time and effort yin posting the photos. It has been supremely interesting to many, many members on the HAMB, as verified by their compliments.
You're very welcome to everybody who has thanked me for putting these up! I'm happy to see this thread is still alive. I've told Mac he should get a hot rod again but he says he has no room for one, although whenever I mention it you can tell the wheels are turning in his head
Lots of good pictures from Connecticut Dragway. Stan Adams from Oakdale, Connecticut white Fiat with flames, and his matching push truck
Me, being 78 years old really appreciates these photos. They bring back memories for me. I was at Connecticut Drag way on opening day, and had to put up with the bullshit attitude of the Connecticut State Police. Yes I got a ticket for loud pipes on my 1949 Oldsmobile Coupe.
I don't know how I missed this thread but I agree with others the photos are great and really bring back an era that is sadly history. I copied some into a file so I could look at them later when I need a smile. No wonder we liked and continue to like this era.
That's what it's about...truly stunning lesson in history... Thank you @nickam82 and Richard "Mac" McKinstry
Just saw this. I must say, for those wanting to get a project "period correct", take notes from these pictures. The locations were different for me but the racing was the same. What a great thread.
