History REPOST – Indy Nats 1961 the lost pics are foundI

I didn't know that they were lost, but I'm sure glad ya found them. Very kool!

 

Thank you!

 

I am not a racer, but I sure enjoyed the pictures,
Thanks Dave

 

Yes thank you for your efforts. I enjoyed looking them over .

 

Fantastic photos. I remember like yesterday reading Hot Rod's coverage of that race till the letters almost fell off the page. I finally made it there in 64. That was great too. Sorry you missed it

 

Back to the top for those that may have missed these the first time around (shameless self-promotion!!)

 

Trying again, previous post went to original post with water-marked photos

 

Thanks for the memories.

 

from another post on drag racing:


THE DRAGMASTER "TWO THING" FROM SO CAL

Hey Dave,

Here is one of the photos from that event that you took. It is cleaned up a bit and looks pretty fabulous.

Thanks,

Here it is in 2017 at the first Grand Opening of the Lion's Dragstrip Museum. It was on the main floor among the old race cars and racers themselves.

Drag racers enjoying a nice night out with plenty of memories to share with others. How much more can that be a part of drag racing history and the HAMB?

 

The early 60's were the best in drag racing. My favorite era for sure. I was born in Jan. 1960 and was too young to participate. I did get to Fremont in 1965-66 for my first drag race. Hard to remember much but the Green Monster. Something must have stuck though.

 

Great stuff that I missed the first time around. Thanks for digging them out and reposting them.

 

Thank you for bringing this one back up. Amazing photos…sorry I missed it before.

 

the powers that be at photobucket need to be kicked in the sack for what they did. I posted many thousands of pics here from that shitstain site and they are all red X's now. I have them on external harddrives, so they are not lost, just lost to the HAMB

I am surprised they still exist. why would anyone keep pictures there now??

 

Hey !! You can "shamelessly self promote" any time you want and it's okay with me !!
