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

This car should be at San Antoino Raceway this weekend. I saw it on the texas timing website. They use it for crackle fest.

 

Bowling Green

 

LOL...thats wild, exhibition or not i doubt this would fly at any track today.

 

Crazy heh, seem they allowed a lot of questionable antics back in the day, like the fire burnouts.. I miss those

 

I saw Jungle Jim do a few of those fire burnouts back in the day.

My ride in motion last weekend at Famoso. Qualified 13th and lost to my mate Adam Sorokin in round one. Went 6.41/207 out of the trailer and improved to a 6.31/214 in second round of qualifying. Went 6.29/216 against Adam and then came back on Sunday afternoon for a test shot and ran 6.200/222.49 on my 17th trip down the track in the car (including my license runs). Special thanks to Dan Horan Sr and Jr for helping make this possible.

"Crazy heh, seem they allowed a lot of questionable antics back in the day, like the fire burnouts.. I miss those "

Yeah, we used to have a promoter (I think it might have been Broadway Bob Metzler) who would stand up during the Q&A session with an insurance rep and say, "I've got this blind jet dragster driver coming..."

Hesre is a photo I took of the "REAL" "Hight & Mighty" in 1960 at NHRA Detroit Nationals. Only 50 years ago! <GRIN>Glenn - in Louisiana

 

Nice pic Glenn!
Good seeing you again at Famoso. The Jambalaya and whatever it was you called the sausages were great, by the way. Bubba did good!!
</grin>

 

Nice Geezer Gasser Photos

 

Here you go...............N/FC 2010 Champion..........

 

nice souvenir,,

 

Leah is the real deal too. She can and does do about anything on a race car and has been known to outwork male members of the crew. She crewed on Brian Thiel's funny car at the US Nationals this year and crew chief Johnny West told me that she made the rest of the team look bad (work wise--she makes a bunch of guys look bad all the time <G>).
In addition she is articulate and is wise way beyond her years.

Built in 1967, this classic car was raced mainly in the Midwest region on US30 and Union Grove Dragaway and competed in Nationals in 1968-1969-1970. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
The homemade body frame is made of fiberglass and the car weighs approximately 2500lbs. Car also comes with lots of spare engine parts. <o></o>
