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

Even in the 60's there was massive tire distortion....(Lions @ about the 1200' mark.)

 

George "Bushmaster" Schreiber...........

 

"Little" Tommy Larkin......

 

Yup....

 

Great to see a photo of Billy "The Kid" Scott. He dropped out of the scene around 67 or 68 I'm told to serve in the Army. His gas dragster was one bad Hombre and consistently won.

 

GREAT shot, and it looks like distortion on the blower belt as well. Thank's for this right clicker.

 

Bobby Tapia....

 

No I.D......bitchin' shot though.

The top left photo shows Lance Larsen and Mike D'Dario who were Marv Eldridge's and Rusty Deling's wrenches. Lance continues to be a respected crew chief and Mike is in charge of ticketing at Infineon Raceway.

 

I believe this car was restored by Ed Rahinski who ran the Maruader comet in the early 60's. I saw him at Bowling Green where he had Chrisman's 68 Comet and the above comet. He lives in Knoxville and regularly attends the nostalgia events.

 

" One of my all time favorite cars, the Heidelberg Speed Shop modified roadster....."

Rick, wasn't the "Heidelberg Speed Shop" a made up place?

I seem to remember that.

missing something?

 

Fontana, 1964.........

 

Here are some photos of the 60's Corvair and Vega. The one that shows us racing The Flying Dutchman shows we would race in any condition. I think it was high 30's.

 

The V for victory sign while doing the burnout is flat out cool. Love to see more of this guy doing that. Nice...

Brauder-Jorgenson-Spencer. Jimmy Davis car... Has to be a very late front motor car-Later model M&H tires...but check out the injectors..hell maybe im wrong. It aint got canards so who knows. I like jim davis cars, many dont. I think the one piece cowl edge is unique and killer.

JIm Barillaro restored both the 65 and 67 Jack Chrisman Comets. Ed Rachanski did have the Maruaders 65 AFX Comet that he made into a roadster. Jim Barillaro was at Bowling Green.

 

Didn't Mike Snivley start out driving the Heidelberg roadster? I think he also drove for Charles "Scotty" Scott before Billy Scott took over...

 

Mike Snively was a mentor to Billy Scott, I wasn't aware that he drove the roadster,
but your memory has proven to be better than mine on more than one occasion....

 

Slappy,
you are waaaaay too young. That is not a burnout, that is the run.
