Maybe, but I found this thread Christmas 2012 and with some time spent each evening, I'm still viewing posts from just 2008. This compilation is a modern treasure. red fox, your posts are some of my favorites. Thanks.

(Wow, was that really my first post? I'm a pretty lame lurkin' wanker I guess. I need to find my box of prints and then I'll contribute some shots from Portland International Raceway during the Bill Donner years.)

This thread finally dead?
Long live this thread.

 

We're waiting for MACE Hardware to cough up those promised HAMB-friendly PIR images!

 

from R&C archives:






Was in motion, Harry Hibler extinguishing fire, he did it at at San Fernando

Was blown, blower up and away...Harry Hibler again



Harry before or after a Rat Trap ride

 

Killer ass photos coming in.

More from R&C archives, this a story on Ed Pink, first photo is an early Pink dragster, think this was a Joe Itow chassis, Tom Dyer drove:





Later Pink car, looks like Fremont:

 

Yet more from R&C, story on Nick Arias, early Lion's photo, GMC in an early Scotty Fenn car:



Nick's gasser at Santa Ana, late '50s, probably


Nick's later ride at San Fernando

 

Or Paradise Mesa? Looks like Chrisman #25 in the background

 

One more from R&C, not in motion, not even at a drag strip, Blair's in the late 50's or really early '60s...note Chassis Research TE-440 behind the sprint car...I am not sure, but it could be the Jelenik & Buell fuel car, if so, it was also my first dragster, took the old TE-440, painted it yellow, and put a fuel Ardun in it, only picture I have left is in my avatar

 

awesome

 

And Blairs is still there to this day.

 

Absolutely! Walked past that location within the past year. Sadly, Don passed away in 2011 at age 90. He was a wealth of information and experience.

 

Any ol' Div. 5 guys know who this is? I know it's blurry with not many details but a guy can hope... right...
I'm thinking possibly Ross & Stuart... Maybe Ross, Reis, & Stuart...
It's taken at Donnybrooke Raceway 1971.

 

Pete's lil demon was my grandfathers car.
