Vintage shots from days gone by!

I think this is the same car posted earlier.

 

After the Tillamook Burn (not sure which one since there were about four-ish).

 

My dad said they did something similar with a VW bug - in the deans office.

 

Happy early Halloween.

 

check out all the beer bottles and beer cans ...... Party !



There is nothing new about this concept.

Robert Stack?

 

Now which one of these is the vibrator I was told about?

 

Pull the knob on the far right, it pops up through the seat

 

Ohhh boy

By the time that John Peters went with the dual hemis, the age of the dual engine gas dragsters was nearing the end of the line. The dual Chevy's was the zenith of the gas dragster era. The dual blown Chevy's gave the car more power than the single hemi engine gas dragsters. The Freight Train was a dominant force for two primary reasons, in my opinion. First, it had enough torque to be able to use the Top Fuel tires (the single engine Chrysler dragsters had less power and had to use the smaller Top Gas tires). The second reason was that the Freight Train had Bob Muravez (alias Floyd Lippencotte Jr.) in the seat.

 

The "master plan" was to find two to three guys interested enough to form a "team" (split the costs by three ways), and hopefully, at least two of the guys had an engine. And, if one guy had a blown hemi and one of the other guys had an unblown Chevy, guess what kind of a dragster you built? You also have to remember that the dual engine dragster era was also the era where NHRA had the fuel ban going on...

 

Right. Horsepower is additive. A 400hp engine plus a 200hp engine = 600hp.

 

Actually I was talking about when the Bantam Bonneville car was run. About 10 or 13 years before the twin engine gas dragsters.

 

Maybe the Flat head was used as weight to keep the front end down. He He!!

 

That be him!!!!!

 

Always got a chuckle that Ed took his shoes off before getting into the Tweedie Pie so he wouldn't get the interior dirty and the camera man got them in his shot.

 

Suzanne Pleshette?

 

While that is true most of the time, there are exceptions. I should know.

I'm thinking the equation is a little more complicated. The 200 hp engine has got to turn into drag somewhere along the way, especially if one engine turns 1500 more rpm than the other. The drag would surely lessen the 400 hp. Different torque curves probably come into play also. The Chrysler/Chevy combo really plays with my head.
