WOMPIN WAGON-The Short Life Of A Nomad Drag Car

The WOMPIN WAGON 55 nomad life story in pics























Do you have any before and after drag car pics? lets seem em

 

whats the story?

 

That rules. Is the Moon tank still in the car?

 

I'd rock that!

 

Really rockin car. More recent pics of it?

 

Sweet ! Would love to see it now or is the last picture now ?

 

cool car...I'm confused though??

 

Do we have to wait for Paul Harvey to give us "The Rest of The Story"?

 

neat car...cruel way to leave us hanging...

 

Cool car...

I like the model A front end...

how did that handle under there.

Your the guy on the right huh...

 

Sorry,the reason I posted these was not to tell a story with dates,names,places etc..but to let the pics tell the story,you know the one youve already heard a million times before:race car gets built,gets raced,get retired.gets sold traded off,gets put away in a barn or destroyed,or restored....whatever you fill in the blank.What I do know about this car is that it was built and raced by the Cummins brothers from central Ala.,in the late 60's,and is still owned by Bubba Cummins,look at the pics,then to quote Rich"As Paul Harvey would say,now you know the rest of the story".....

 

It would be worth so much more restored!

Man it looks awesome on those polished magnesium wheels...

 

THAT car RULES. Do you own it now??

 

Man I'm sitting drooling, thanks for the POST, Henry.

 

Definitely worth restoring. What are your plans for it?

Very cool! So you do know where it is or only a rumor?

 

These pics are INCREDIBLE!

 

I bet Bubba Cummins has a lot of storys to tell . Your a lucky guy !

 

So what ever came of this? Who owns it now?

 

That's awesome. Bring her back to her original glory.

 

Wow, how cool is that? Am I to believe that it's still owned by Cummins and your just passing it on to torture us?

 

My buddies meeting the same fate. When I asked him about selling it, all he will say is that I can't afford it. This one will start and run.

Not as cool as the Wompin Wagon but still..........

 

Im thinkin if the funds arent there to restore the Wompin Wagen, then leaving it lookin
like it does but getting it to run and drive safe would be just as cool. Its earned those paint chips.
That goes for the red one too.

 

That looks like the strip in Baileyton, AL. Not saying it is, just looks like it.

 

Wow, thanks for sharing the pics/story, Kenny
THAT'S the kind of drag car I remember from when I was a kid Sad, in a way, to see a Nomad cut up, but balanced out by it's purpose and history. Very cool.
And that shot of TWO nomads in the front yard...... Nobody thought much of somethin' like that back then, but you'd never see that today.
