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

Where were these pics taken? I sort of have a soft spot for airstrip based dragstrips. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

i'll take a chili dog with onions, one of those diggers and two of her to go, please!

Oh man, holey cow! Unsprung front end, NO body panels enclosing the driver. Is that a cargo chute? Engine sitting up in the chassis like a fuel altered. And again, what are the doo dads on the engine? But, it sure looks like he's doing the number at speed. Anyone have any history on this dragster? Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

What's the deal with this one. Is he trying to bail out?

 

Best lookng scoop to ever sit atop a Hilborn injector!!

 

The two pics of this car, where were they taken? We have a Der Weinerschnitzel here in Everett (I'm sure all the stores look the same), and at one time, there was a Pacific Speed Shop. Who was the driver? Or is it just a coincidence? Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

All I know is that is was a jet car.

 

Jim Nicoll and Don Cook ran the car. Nicoll is from Spring Valley, California.
Hope this helps some-Neglected

 

Looks like he's trying to keep his hands--and the rest of him--from being burned.
