History Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.

That's Eddie Sanzo's pick up. The middle photo is from Indy. The 2 from Cecil Co. with no lettering must be from right after the rebuild after the huge wheel stand at NY National Speedway that broke the chassis.

 

All 3 photos are Eddie Sanzo' car middle one before chop. Chopped pictures are after it came out of Pacers shop and before lettering. John, Eddie did a wheelstand at Westhampton and bent the chassis during a match race with the black SWC willys. After the National Speedway wheelstand the car was junked and he built the first 33 coupe.

Whats with the tie downs on the front of the Nova in post 18124?

 

I ran across this the other day. It's from Hot Rod Magazine, Sept. 1978 (I was like 4 Months old...) Jungles last car, Carl Ruth driving.

 

Nope not mine, I have Walts A/R and AA/FC. Walt still owns this one. It will be at Billet Proof this Saturday.

was the Panella and Miner car a center steer car or is that just an optical illusion?

Sadly the new floppers do not look like anything you can pick up at a dealer.

 

Center steer was not legal in AA/GS. Those cars are so small it's hard to make them left side steer. I think he's just sitting low in the car which makes it look odd.

 

Found a couple of roadsters from the mid 60's. Ones running an early Hemi and the other has an injected small block chevy.

 

Heres a shot of The Hydro Phobia Chevy C-dan and an early Chev coupe.

 

Great shots ltownrodder. Dave Rudy's car seemed to have been photographed quite a lot, probably because it was so beautiful.

 

One of my all time favorite gasser's is this black 32 Ford Vicky.

 

Hey Plum heres another from York. Back of photo says that it was taken at York US 30 in 1961. 1932 Ford 3 window coupe running a small block Chevy,owned by Jimmy Davis.

 

Last one tonight.....I think this is a Rockne coupe?????? Was tagged for the street but was running in B/G

 

Thanks Townrodder.

I remember these cars quite well. Jim Davis was editor S/S Drag Illustrared at one time.

The Hydro Phobia was Pontiac powered which is one of my favorites as I'm a PONTIAC Freek.
