I know it hauled bikes more often than cars, but how about Evil's Mack....



From Petty's short lived turn at Ford.


Tyrone Malones "Papa Truck" and "Mama Truck"


Penske's IH Fleetstar from the Can-Am days.


Hard to imagine any of Penske's teams turning wrenchs in the infield grass these days.

Hello,

In 1958-59, during the humble heydays of drag racing in So Cal, a lot of people towed their race cars to the dragstrip. But, for those that are creative with a lightweight race car, perhaps this is a good method of drag race car transportation. No worries about cross winds, blown out trailer tires, bent tow bars, inconsistent tail lights, or out of control braking, etc. Just drop the tail gate, roll it into the bed, lift it up, shut the tailgate and off to the drags.

A lot of drag racing motorcycles did just that scenario, but a lightweight FED? That is some drag racing creativity and ingenuity in action. Never challenge a hot rod/drag race creativity and ingenuity from back in those great, old So Cal days.

Some kid in a red Pendleton going eye to eye with the Tapia Bros FED race car. What, me worry?
Good times, indeed!
We were there back then... Thanks, James...

 

Don White's rig.

 

Do you remember this rig.

 

I was walking through the Billetproof Eruption drags last August taking photos as I went when one of the guys hollered, "hey you have to get some shots of this" This being this Chevy ramp truck that was pretty cool.
