  2. Hi guys, remember me?
    Pretty much stopped posting here as most all pics were reposts, some 4-5 times or more.
    I've built up a decent collection of NW cars as that's where I grew up.
    If anybody is interested I'll post some. I'd rather post than argue!
    Here's a NW stalwart, Harold Gunderson (Renton)...Arlington Wash. 1962.

  3. Possibly...Oregon Road Kings ran a full fenderd 30-31 roadster with injected 241 Dodge Hemi.
    Arlington Wa.

    Thanks. I've posted a zillion drag pics on the Days Gone By thread, just got tired of guys reposting the first Google page here over and over, plus guys arguing. No escape I guess.
    I can post some of my NW pics .
     
  8. Pretty well known car, a C/A record holder.

    It is him. He’s my dad and I showed him the picture and he confirmed.

    His Nova was such a showstopper too, a neat piece, gotta wonder how his racing career might have gone under different circumstances.

    It is the RJS fiat. Confirmed it with my dad who is the R.
     
  20. Saw it run many times, and watched your Dad wrench on it in the pits. Also watched him wrench his big Olds in the Sour Sister's digger. Tell him thanks for all the memories!

    The Fuel Cuda was just wicked looking, I say that in an appreciative way.
