Vintage shots from days gone by!

Without the year or a car number it would be almost impossible to do unless the owner or crew was on the HAMB.

SPEED

 

Superbe photo, so sharp,
Speed indeed.

 

Looks like this might be Half Moon Bay^^^^^^^^Found the neat video below while looking.
This one's for you Gary, you may want to reset your rev limiter when you're done.
I didn't like the accompanying sound at first but it actually grew on me.
Dig the wheelie about the 7:10 mark.
Gary, tell all the kids again that these runs were not burnouts.
Oh yeh, please disregard the 68 Corvette at the end.

Try these:





Good NW action, Arlington , Puyallup mostly.
A TON of AA/FD, that's DOUBLE A FUEL DRAGSTERS KIDS!

 

Wild Willie at the HRM Riverside drags at SPEED!
Note the front wheels off the ground, the slicks grown OFF the rim.
He's using both hands!

Yeah, it's Joe Teresi, with Mil Blair, John Candy would have been too young then.

 

Yes it sure is ....... good catch !

.

 

Look close ..It even has built in "stiff Legs" to stabilize the truck when the booms are used over the side ....
Really advanced for that era ....

 

Schmitz Bar and Grill, Dallas, TX

 

Fantastic detailing! Could this be for a show or a parade?

 

Hope they didn't have to go around any turns. Those cars leaned over at unbelievable angles on the gentlest of corners, and the back seat passengers have nothing to hold on to.

 

Don't suppose that could have been a wrap in those days, so it should be a paint job. Must have taken weeks!

 

Sure do miss that place. Had fantastic burgers and fries. I think they had one of the oldest licenses to sell beer in the county. Finally closed just a couple years ago.
