Drag Racing USA is now live on the website!

 

It lived here in Idaho Falls for a while. Guy named Hairball had it, think he traded it for a '36 Ford 5 window. It was getting some miles on it by then, trans was ready ... has a funny front axle somebody "dropped" with a huge hammer.

 

WOW! I'm gonna spend some time and see if I can find the cover of the first magazine I ever bought in the mid 60s that got me hooked.

 

This was a regional weekly magazine/newspaper covering the Northeast and Canada. It was published in Cranston, RI, by Joe Vanni. First issue is April 17, 1966. As far as I know it was only published the one year.

 

Amazing stuff! Thanks very much!

I just added Auto Age ('53 - '56), Super Stock & F/X ('65-'70) and Super Stock & Funny Cars ('70-'72)

Up next: Motor Life (post Hop-Up, '54 - '61), Auto Sport Review ('52 - '53) and Auto Speed & Sport ('52-'53).

I'm still looking for Hot Rod Parts Illustrated and Drag Parts Illustrated issues.

Enjoy!!

 

Great site! Thank you so much for all the hard work putting it together. My personal favorite is the Jan.63 issue of How to Hop-Up Your Engine. The roadster on the cover was built by my late brother Bob. That's the car that got me hooked on hotrods when I was a kid.

 

Here's my favorite.

 

That's awesome!

This is one of my favorites; the January 1965 issue of Car Craft.

 

in 1960 i wrote an artical into Car Speed & Style about model cars i was 16 they printed it and i still have it

 

That's a cool looking roadster. I cleaned up the image for you!!
