  3. From Ewell's WDIFL site, A FANTASTIC SITE!!
    A comely roadster launches off the starting line at Half Moon Bay with track owner/partner Don Smith (white pants) watching in the background. This image pretty much sums up how primitive the sport was in the late 1950s-I doubt if this guy would pass tech today.

  4. Emory Cook was in a heap of trouble right off the line against Jim McLennan in the Gotelli- Champion Speed Shop Spl. at Kingdon in 1959.

  5. Jerry Card of El Cerrito owned Card Automotive Specialty in San Pablo, California, and campaigned a series of A/FMCs in the late '50s and early '60s. Card set a Standard 1320 record in the Sumner-Burt A/GMC in 1961. He also drove Ted Gotelli's first Fuller car briefly--shown here in 1959 at Kingdon.

    Hi Gary

    After seeing tons of dragster pics over the yrs, that is the first time I have seen that Dragmaster with the W engine

    Always something new to see, that is what is so cool about the HAMB
