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

This looks like Indy 1965. Tom Hoover, the Ramchargers and in the background (yellow) Nando Haase.

 

Man I can't wait till tomorrow when I am headed to Bowling Green to see a lot of these in person. I will post a bunch of pics next week on my thread. there is a link to it in my signature.

 

We will be waiting for your return. Can you make the pictures fuzzy like they were old? And also make them smell like an old magazine.

 

True, especially with fuel Olds engines!

 

More from George Klass...Jack Moss doesn't get enough credit as a drag racer, in my opinion...this is his twin car with the full body, note the small scoops for brake cooling....Jack was a finalist in the '55 NHRA nationals (held in Arizona after getting rained out at Great Bend KS)...with a single-engine Dodge...he was a first-class builder and racer.


Dave Andersen


Hashim, Hylton, and Crossley, Bakersfield...This car ran a flathead when run by Aubrey Hylton, later an injected Ardun, and finally Ernie Hashim's blown Chrysler...(I think this might have been the engine that Ernie ran in his hiboy roadster at Bonneville in '55, first single-engined roadster over 200mph, is this correct??)



Harold Bettes


Another shots of the Lords of Tucson (Fisher, Greth, Maynard), fuel flathead



Ed Losinski at Perryville, AZ...this might have been Harry Duncan's engine, beautiful car, finished in purple paint and chrome.

 

The inability to do between round bottom end R&R was the undoing of this car and the Porter & Ries team.

 

BILL HICKOK'S 32 COUPE. JAN. 3, 1963. HALF MOON BAY..............................TOM

 

If you don't like this something is wrong with you!

 

You got a "wheels-up" station wagon AND Buster Couch both in the same picture! I mean, what's not to like?

 

Dang, didn't notice Buster. I have his autograph on an Indy pit pass.

 

I'll trade you for an autographed Bob Glidden poster...

 

I saw this run at Rockford Drag Way - carried the front wheels to past half track.
