Yup, Cotton Perry's Chevy II was a seriously bad Hot-Rod !

Absolutely, I had no idea you were ill.

NHRA takes away the great modified cars and in return we get Super Gas ??????? One of the many "Enhancements" I never figured out.

 

Mmmmm...SOHC...

 

Weekly and Rivero at Pomona

 

Starlite at Pomona (I think that this is the car that Chuck Branham died in, good guy, still remember him)...

 

Rich Rogers vs Weekly and Rivero (far lane), '64 winternationals

 

Doug Robinson's Horsepower Engineering, twin to the car he built for me and Bob Keilty...this was the first version, sort of a teal blue, wedge Mopar, because he got them free through Milne brothers Plymouth dealership....Mike Bartlett drove it off the end at Pomona and banged it up, so when Doug rebuilt it he replaced the Mopar wedge with a hemi...car is now restored in the second version:

 

Yeakle Plymouth/Lou Baney car at Pomona, not sure who was driving that day

 

Safeway Sandblasting Ardun-powered CC, engine from their Willys gasser, think Norm Wilcox drove

 

No clue on this one, 348 Chevy...maybe a modified TE440?

 

Not sure on this one, maybe Zane Shubert, but don't remember him running Enderle injectors

 

Ernie's Camera Shop (Ernie Alverado) early Fuller car, probably Bill Alexander driving.

 

Can't tell for sure, looks like Davis & Ingram

 

Crosley-bodied altered getting ready to race an A-bodies altered ...really miss these old days

and, now that I have posted these shots, credit to Quarter Mile Classics, great webpage with pictures of lots of old tracks...

 

I think this was Chuck Griffith's Starlite. I thought Griffith served as pilot.

 

Note the use of wood shop glasses to keep driving googles clean during burnout.
