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

From the U.K.

 

WTF? This has got to be the U.K. I can't imagine what this thing is, but I ain't drivin' it!

 

The Beebe Brothers, Vinson and Sixt/ Beebe and Mulligan/Leland Kolb/SPIR (Peter Dykes)/Jim Read dragster at Castlereagh International Dragway, just west of Sydney, Australia. This is the car that HAMB'er Robert Morris has re-created. Kolb ran the car after purchasing it from Beebe and then brought it to Australia where it was the "house" car for Surfers Paradise International Raceway before being purchased by Sydney's Jim Read who returned it to the Fighting Irish color scheme as seen here. The car was eventually cut up to turn it into a rear engine deal which was never completed but the front axle survived and is on Robert's re-pop of the original car. It looks like owner Jim Read in the middle of the trio hoisting the front end.

Another Aussie shot, this time it is Chuck May's 332 Ford powered Outcast in the near lane.
