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

This little beauty shows up everywhere in So Cal. At this years March Meet, it was parked in the "Grove", with a For Dale sign
.., $35,000.., a friggen STEAL! Wish I had the dough, I'd buy it in a New York second!

 

that pack rat '34 was a big inspiration when i was a kid.it was in a book i had in the 2nd or 3rd grade.awsome!

 

It was fast & show car pretty.., it was destroyed by fire.

 

McMinnville, Or - 1965 The Plymouth was Owned by Bob Tindle (of "Orange Crate" fame).

 

Nice to see you posting again Marty!
Don't forget the Oregon racers thread please, it's GREAT to see new photos of NW cars and tracks!

 

Hay ardun. post # 41895 you have more pictures than I do of the roadster.. picture racing Heidelberg Fontana . and picture #3 injected Chrysler Fontana. Both Me (merek) driving Ed Taylors mod. roadster. That car was more fun racing than anything I ever drove.

 

Awesome...and a big ol' hunk of Ford to boot! I heart that a lot...

 

Guess what guys, The truck you talk about is another cool Willys truck. That one is owned by Bob Duncan and was really built by Chuck Finders. It can be seen running in the early nostalgia races at Milan. It is orange, but this time a supercharged BBC. And yes, it is a friggen steal! I'll look for a pic.

 

Good to see you on here again Merek. For those that don't know, Merek is a legit T/F driver from the 60's and 70's. He's the real deal, and a great guy to talk about the good old days with.

Thanks for the great pictures from Dover Drag Strip.
Looking at those pictures brought back so many wonderful memories of Sunday's spent at Dover.
Thanks Jim Hill

 

Nice to see you're alive and well Merek. Do you remember our match race trip to El Paso with John Hoven's funny car; you, me, and John crammed into a rather small ford pickup cab, pit stop in Albequerqe at the emergency room due to your prescription malfunction, wind blowing 50 mph at the drag strip. Every trip has its stories.

 

Pat,
Is this your car?

 

Yes it is ! And it is still running, makes the Dover Nostalgia Drags at Lebanon Valley every year.
