Hot Rods "Drag Plaques ( Lets see them; past and present )

These are another unique item to hot rodding.

Share your and who has pics of those from back in the day.

 

post pic of yours

 

Okay, I'll take a turn. What is a drag plate?

 

I'll also take a turn..What you talking about,man?

 

I'm thinking he must mean club plaques that were allowed to hang down and drag the ground.

 

I think what Carl is looking for is a pic of your dragger/club plate , like this

 

..........................................By the way, I never quite understood the point of this.

 

I should add , that HAMBer Bullet Nose had quite a collection of pics of club plaques on his website (including a bunch that I shot) .

 

New to me. I never herd of doing that.

 

...................Why did you shoot 'em, weren't they banged up enough from being dragged?

 

They don't drag all the time , BTW

Kinda like a dying horse ?

 

I have been into cars and motorcycles all my life. I have been in a couple motorcycle clubs, but not any car clubs. I am real interested in the car clubs, so I will be watching this thread.

 

Do a search for club plaques and you'll find lots of info and pics.

 

Some of my cars run this but it's just a dash plaque.. Club goes back to the 50's and we're still alive. I just finished a two year term serving as club president.
Fun bunch of guys.

 

Club members run these aluminum ol' school plaques also.

 

I thought he meant magnesium plates bolted to the front crossmember that sparked when the hydraulics were let down.

 

Never heard the term 'till today. The magnesium skid plates make more sense in that respect.

 

that's what I was thinking he meant as well. Not really a "lowrider" guy, so I was never a big fan....

 

Didn't even think about that, but I'm pretty sure he meant club plaques. Lots of pics of them on the HAMB , so maybe I'm wrong ? Don't think so though ...

 

be extra cool with a drag'n'plate and flame throwers

 

sick, dude... or, sick dude...see, punctuation DOES matter...

^^^^^Sorry, I don't drag my plaque.^^^^^^

 

But I DO sometimes drag my ass...Especially when the wife makes me go shopping with her...

 

A kind of hell that is occasionally unavoidable. But given a choice, I'd rather go to a supermarket than Ikea.

 

don't you grown men have anything better to do than to reply to worthless threads?
...wait...

 

Patiently waiting...

 

Oh man, I really try not to even THINK about that...

 

My plaque only drags when I pull onto a side street , a driveway out something like that

Tell me about it, brother

Guess not, Larry . It's raining outside, so I don't want to drive the Shoe . Plus, I don't have much of a life, apparently , lol !

 

Its still Christmas holidays. I went downstairs and started fiddling with car stuff earlier today, but I got yelled at...
