Jalopy Showdown Drags '07 PICS/Comments

Killer drags...

Lets have even more cars next year!!!


Gotta have someone to race my 56 Chevy Gasser!!



IT WAS A GREAT DAY IN THE BEAVER!!!

 

These are thumbnails I posted earlier, before I knew the site I used had a space for fullsize images. I moved them here from another thread to consolidate.

 

Any side shots of this "A"....

 

I think this is all I have of it, but I'm sure there a bunch will crop up.



I have a fair amount of pics, so if anyone is looking for a particular car, let me know. My batteries did die, so I don't have as much as I'd like.

 

...wouldn't that be a 55 and 1/2 Chevy gasser?
...that flag starter guy was really gettin into his job...kool.

The Beaver wore me out!!!!

That West Virginia antique car tag is the coolest!

 

1956 I think this was taken? someone can correct me if I am wrong.


Present day

 

What's the name of this dragstrip? I need to mapquest this.......

 

Beaver Springs Dragway in you guessed it, Beaver Springs Pennsylvania. I have no idea of an actual address though.

Ha Thanks, yeah they just put out those new tags a couple years ago and they look a shitload better than the old boring ones.

 

Wow. 20 hours. That's a long haul.

 

Thats more than a haul, thats a freakin journey. It was a blast though, now i just gotta make the HAMB drags next year.

The old picture was taken in 1964. He built it his senior year in high school believe it or not.

Great show cant wait till next year. The guys from VA had a blast.

Great pics.....Thanks for sharing!

 

Wow Confede-Rat26 I just read through all 5 pages about how you got this guy. It really does look at home on the strip. and you have Mr Morris' helmet also when he raced right?

If those pipes could talk... well hopefully they will be in a little bit! I would love to see you run down the Beaver next year with this!

Absolutely amazing.
