Jnaki, Thanks for the pic of the Dodgers playing in the Coliseum. GREAT memories...we sat in the "short left field" seats and watched Sandy Koufax...
There has to be a story behind this picture. Does anyone know what this is all about?
I've collected 35,000+ photos over the past 20 years and this one ranks in my all-time, top ten, drag racing photos.
[Not to get off thread to far, but does anyone have any other pictures of this car in these colours.] By brother and Bob Downey were good friends...
Photo looks like Albuquerque Dragway. Near side is the ABQ racer Bob Pavioni. Far side is the well known Smothers Brothers car with, probably,...
Ummm...I don't mean to be picky but what credit goes to Dale Schafer when it says "Ted Dohse Photo" on the photo?
[ATTACH] No ID on these two fuelers at Fontana...note the early version of the Christmas tree...this may have been more of a staging device,...
[ATTACH] in the lights, no ID on car or track...mountains in back, maybe Utah? Anyone? I'd bet my paycheck that's Bakersfield -- mid 1960's when...
[ATTACH] Another unknown fueler at Irwindale I think this is Warren and Coburn, and, because it appears to be white, would put it in 1966.

Lions was the best spectator drag strip in the sport! Yes you could get close...real close. My first face full of nitro was at the fence at the...
Interesting picture because the Enderle Scoop looks like the Frantic Four's setup. Since both groups from the Pomona area, maybe someone can tell...
Mazooma: We must be close to the same age. My first race was San Fernando, 1959 or 1960 (we lived in Encino at the time). I was 12 or 13. Still...
The GBP car is red with KB's Ford push car is a classic, Lions Dragstrip - 1960's, shot. Love it. Thanks Rick... PS...Wonder if the blue El...
I'm going to take stab at this and guess it's Barlag and Clark, taken at San Fernando.
What a treat to see this pic. This car gave me my first Chemistry lesson. I remember watching them at Lions coming down from a push start with the...
Hmmmm....with all due respect to Mr. Loewen, I think that somehow a picture was mislabeled by mistake. I could be wrong, but based on the shape of...
I recall those buildings in the background were Apartment buildings and thus Lions had a 10:45 "noise curfew," which was violated quite a few...
I think this was the Rollema and Hill dragster. Car was blue and the Cadillac in the background was their pushcar. Nice car. Don't know what...
