Event Coverage Wisconsin International Raceway

My good friend and racing buddy passed away recently, his wife let me borrow a photo album to share pictures he took during one of our early trips to the drags in 1972

Album has a bunch of O.T. cars too, but I won't put them here.

great pictures.....

 

cool

 

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, like going back to my stomping grounds era of drag racing, the "Grumpy Lump" period.

 

I got there in 73 for drag racing. 74 I started circle track racing cars and ran on there short track and 4 other tracks regularly. Thanks for the pictures , Gary

 

Last ones that I missed [/ATTACH]

 

CL!

 

My favorite too
Those were the days of the sweet sound of small blocks singing, almost every time we spectated we would see a couple of engines trashed and maybe a transmission, rear end or axle broke. (no rev limiters)

 

Sorry for you losing your friend. But great memories in that album.

 

Really enjoyed the photos. Thank you for taking the time to post them.
I love the "Two For The Show" Nova.

I wanted to try to bring some light and color back to some of them, and
eliminate some simple distractions. I also cropped them square to resemble
our old Instamatic prints. If you object, I can easily delete this.

Remember, these were posted by Tickety Boo and originally taken by his
late friend.

 

Thanks for sharing, a fine tribute to your friend!

 

Thank You

 

Somethings not right on that Nomads rear fender

 

56 sedan chrome trim ?

 

Looks like 2 door wagon quarters and side trim.

I've seen Nomad quarters put on regular wagons but never regular wagon quarters (and trim) put on a Nomad.
