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

No, that was the NorthWind I posted a few days ago. That was the twin to the MajiCar.
There were quite a few tough AA/FD's in Oregon and Washington then, Ron Salisbury, Hank Johnson, and of course, Jerry Ruth to name a few.

 

Now I'm confused...this was the car I was thinking of:






These pictures and caption from Don Ewald's WDIFL site:

Three shots from a photo shoot of Cordy Jensen's "Bev's Steak House" AA/FD in 1967. This was a really nice Fuller "Magic Type" car. Cordy ran it for two years then, after he crashed at Woodburn, he was recovering in the hospital and McCulloch and McCutchen brought it to Fuller to repair it. After that it was sold to someone who was connected to Scotty's Drive-in. The car became known as the Scotty's Drive in car and Ed "The Ace" McCulloch drove it for a while.
The car was owned by Gordy Jensen & Bob McCabe, and co-sponsored by KPIR radio and Bev's Steak House in Eugene, Oregon.

Maybe it became the "Northwind" after Fuller repaired it?? This gets confusing!

 

Hmm. It looks like there was the first Woody car, then maybe a Fuller? I dunno.
The guy to ask is Marty Strode. Marty?

 

That's Fred Bear, S&S Racing, Alexandria, VA. I believe the track is Aquasco Dragway, MD.

 

Glen Patrick of Jonesboro Ar. and Bobby Burse of Halls Tenn. owned this Thunderbolt.
Bobby Burse did the driving. This was said to be the Brannan car, the #1 thunderbolt
It was a regular at George Rays in the early 70s

 

The orange Dodge is owned and driven by Ken Permenter of Blytheville, Ark . Ken was a firm beleiver that on the seventh day God created the Hemi.
The Mustang was Colon Vickers from Lepanto, Ark. This car wasnt registered for the street until the early 80s.
He owned this car till 2010. it was sold to a collector in Juipter Fl. shortly before his death
Both of thes were a regular at George Rays

 

This was Colon Vickers Ford Powered Dragster it was prior the Mustang. It was a regular at George Rays

 

This 63 1/2 ford was driven by Carl Davis from Memphis . He ran at George Rays in the late 60s

 

I cant remember who this Camaro belonged to. I think it was from Tenn. Maybe someone can put a name to it. It was a regular at George Rays

 

Sonny Wayland s Willys panel from Newport, Ark. ran a injected Big Block Chev. He ran at George Rays often. This picture was taken at the Newport Dragstrip which he operated.

 

I would also like to say thanks.
Absolutely enjoyable.
Black and white nails it.

 

The project that forever soured Robert "Jocko" Johnson on building race cars.

I don't think that it is the Creitz car in the far lane. Color is right but the tail is not and it is not a Don Long car (steering linkage and radius rods)

Never cared for 4 wide drag racing and I still don't today. It's why I don't like Z-Max dragway.
