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

Very nice love it!!

 

That one bit me on another site as well.

 

HEMIBERT.....Great stuff!

 

Found this on fb. Not a perfect fit for this thread but cool none the less.

 

Me three.

I'm up in the snowy rocky mountains 70 miles west of bandimere.
We only make the trek for the one nostalgia deal there in May.

We don't attract any af/x ers as yet but a few funnies and top fuel.
I don't think I've seen an altered yet either.

Enough to get some nitro in the nose though.

 

Did I miss the welcome back.......Mazooma ?.......good to see him posting the good stuff....

 

No kidding ! Welcome back.

 

I am right along with you guys! Nostalgia drag racing is great. We put on a show while racing! The computerized, high tec, corporate dragracing of today is mostly boring to me.

 

Mikey-- It's not boring, that's the best time to go take a whiz and get another beer.

 

Agreed!

 

I CAN ONLY PEE SO LONG
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THE REST OF THE TIME?

 

Bonus! I can see Buddy Criscoe's car by the fence.

 

Early days for Bill Jackson who still runs "Scratcher" cars to this day. He and his wife have "been there, done that!"

In the "slightly altered" class, I presume?

 

I've been sitting here looking at the pic of this uh altered trying to think of something to say and I decided to say nothing.

Pomona, probably mid-50s


early twin, no other ID...anyone?


I posted this before, but without ID...It's Dick Belfatti, Willow Grove, PA. This TE-440 was also painted black at one time. Dick went on to run some really class fuelers, stopped driving after getting burned in one of those fuelers...Bobby Vodnik and others later drove for him.


No ID, taken at Indy Nationals, talk about a classic altered, steel Fiat body, Moons, etc


Not sure where this is, Salt Lake City? Arizona? Back when you could compete in the gasser classes with a street-driven car.


Santa Ana, a really long time ago


Waters & Murray...probably been posted before, but worth another look. Carbureted 55 Chev punched out to over 300" and a torsion bar-suspended championship rear end. These guys ran over 130 in '56. It later went to Texas where it got a blown motor, but kept the triple-nickel number


Mike Marinov from Wisconsin. He billed himself as "the Mad Russian," and this car ran like it. Held the 1320 record for class.


No ID
