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

Found this shot on another site, Sorry I forgot the poster/photographers name, hope this helps....Rich

 

My old race car.. best of a 9.37@142mph at Bandimere Speedway in Denver Co with a 360ci sbc

 

OMG! The Stone Woods and Cook car was a flopper!

The door handles had me for all these years.

 

pic was taken in 1960, thats probably my Dad driving (high 13's with a stick shift 312), Mom raced her own T-bird too.

 

That blown Jag is badass.

 

Charlie Danner.... Twin Corvairs

 

Twin Corvairs! We need to see more of that!
That reminds me; I don't recall seeing many if any shots of Kay Sissell's "Six Session" on here.
Anyone have some nice shots of that beautifully engineered machine?
I had great shots of it from the CHRR in '01, but movers lost all my photos a few years back...

 

And this is why drag racing is my favorite thing in the universe......

 

Holly Crap I liked that

 

I would love to hear that twin Corvair run!

 

Been a lurker here for awhile, figured it was time to sign up. love this thread. me in the wheelchair.

 

My Dads car early 70's It was the Burkholder Bros car. This shot was taken at Lodi. car ran at Fremont,Sacramento and Lodi for a few years in this configuration. if anyone has any more photos of this car i would like to see them. THANKS

 

Kay Sissell, 1971 @ Indy......Kay was one of the nicest gentleman
to walk the planet.

 

definitely early edgewater pic....my cincy house is about 1 1/2 miles from there..

 

Cool dad.
Know you seen this shot,was on last page.
Repost to welcome you here.

 

I haven't kept track of the time I've spent on this thread, but it has been hours -- I am sure!!!
Thanks to everyone who has shared their pics and stories.
It has been a history lesson, and has brought back a ton of memories.
THANKS to everyone.
On page 1117 -- I still have a ways to go!! ;-)

 

Thanks everyone that posted a Ellison&McGarvey/Boston Strangler FC pic, they will certainly help fill out the memorial album I am working on for Bob.

 

Thanks Bucksnort, got alot of memories going to the dragstrip and Bonneville. Dad worked for Algon fuel injection in the 60's. still racing with Dad at Bonneville. although not a traditional Hot Rod (240z)would like to start building a modified roadster soon.

 

Without question! And, the twin-six car is still owned by his partner, Mike Kirby. Mike operates the "Sissell Automotive" business, catering to in-line customers, machining aluminum six-banger cylinder heads from the Sissell/Kirby castings. I talk with him on practically a weekly basis.

The car is in the trailer outside his shop and he runs it when he feels the need for speed.

Sadly, this is all....Charley Danner is currently working on a single engine car.

 

Cool hotrod The push truck is sweet.
