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

Bucksnort....you have some great pictures brother..........here's afew more classic Canadians that tripped the 1320 in your neck of the woods......

 

Is this Burns and Yost's car?

 

Nice shot of the roller starter. Doesn't seem to safe now a-days

 

Never were "safe" I"ve seen pieces and parts flying out of those things at several sites. NO ONE like starting a car on them.

 

Here's how it looks today. Owned and restored by HAMBer Marlin Huss.





This is it's next life after the JJ paint. It then went through several hands including George Rupert's as a successful Super Pro car, until Marlin bought and restored it.

 

Was there ever a Revell model kit done up on the Vega wagon???

 

Don't remember if this has been posted here before or not, but it is pretty cool...even if I don't speak French! Shot on October 19, 1966.
I know I was there because the car I was crewing on is shown in the pits and making a pass.
This was about 6 weeks before I joined Uncle Sam's Air Follies.
