To be transparent, I'm really trying to find out what oddball stuff I don't have yet. But I also think it would be fun to see a lot of this stuff in one place. The NHRA museum in Pomona has a case full of great examples but it is not comprehensive. I'll post what I have an hope you will do the same! Looking for literature, flyers, hard items, shirts, etc. I am in no way any kind of authority on any of this but trying to learn as much as I can. I would like to keep the focus of the thread limited to things with the early roadster logo, so late '60's and prior. Original Charter Club water slide decals A large jacket sized patch Cufflinks sold by the NHRA to members in the mid '50's. Also available were a tie clip and pin with the same 3d roadster An early '60's Inspectors cap Two early manuals. The one one on the right is very early with the "dedicated to safety" atop the roadster in the logo. Name badge from Bill Dismuke A couple early membership cards I'm not sure where this brochure was distributed Program from the first nationals Entry list from the make-up race after the last day was rained out Membership pins, I have a 3rd year pin on the way. I believe these went up to 9 years.
Recently got this plaque. I assume distributed by the NHRA to charter clubs to give to their members.
You have a super collection Anderson but one correction is in order, Arnie was never a tech inspector but Bill “Farmer” Dismuke was.
Nice collection, thank you for starting this thread. I may have a few odds & ends to add to the photo collection. Bob
In the early 60's NHRA started a Charter Club program. This is the paper plaque (designed by Dick Katayanagi, I believe) that was sent to our club in 1962. It is signed by Wally Parks and Robert Gotleib. We were a part of the program until it ended a few years later. Mick
