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

But the picture of the 65 it says AA/S just in front of the number on the door?

 

Walt Stevens. AA/GD

 

Drifters of Redondo Beach, fuel coupe, note how far back the engine is..this shows how hard it was to work on the engine in a full-fendered coupe


No ID, fueler running the Crower injectors




Dave Deichman, 34 fuel coupe running an Ardun...sponsored by Pasagreen Body shop in Pasadena...


Bourgeois and Wade, from the San Gabriel/Temple City area


Stone T fuel altered, Frank Graf and Mikio Yoshioka, racing Fred Cerutto's "Quality Auto" car from Northern California


Indy nationals, Dode Martin in the Dragmaster Two-Thing racing Bill Tibboles from Ohio. Tibboles ran a blown Olds and a blown Chevy


Ernie's Camera Shop car from Glendale, CA, at the nationals...we remember it mostly painted red, but it was also black...usually ran gas but when Ivo had a chance to drive it (after his studio banned him from driving his 4-Buick car), he tried a low nitro dose...when Ernie Alvarado found out, he fired Ivo as driver.


Ed Pink's Old Master at Bakersfield...not sure who is driving....Don Long chassis


Another shot of Dave Deichman's sedan....It showed up engineless at Blair's after Dave sold it, and Jon Carlson and I were going to put Ron McKibben's injected Dodge in it and run it on fuel....too bad we didn't have any money (would have been foolish anyways, it was way too heavy in the early '60s to be competitive)


Joe Shubeck's blown gas burner, from Ohio. There was a brief time when mail/newspaper delivery boxes were used for injector scoops...Art Malone ran one also....



Frank Pedegon, maybe in Joe Winters fueler??

 

Holy Cow this thread just keeps getting better and better with each new posting.
Thanks for another trip down Memory Lane.

New picture that was found of my Uncle Jack's (De Bord) dragster at Lions in 1965. Jack drove it and we think Pat Legs Johnson drove it as well....before the gold accents.

 

View attachment 2933444 Ed Pink's Old Master is actually Tommy Ivo.

 

It could be, I was going off the caption....as I look at it, the nose isn't quite the nose of the Old Master, which had reliefs on both sides of the axle...this might have been the same picture as this one, Bakersfield, '66


and another of Ivo's car at about the same time:

 

Made it bigger for you.

 

Bigger is better!

 

Looks like "Frank Kemp" on the door, Lions




Dave Dangerfield, Youngstown, OH...ran this twin for a while before building a fueler...see note below...


According to the caption, Kelly Brown - photo by Tim Marshall...Lions


Kenz & Leslie, from Denver...this is not good



No ID


Niagara International -- Notice the NASCAR sanction...no ID on the 55 (but 40 minutes later we have one, from Biscaynes: that's Jim Zakia's '55 at Niagara...Thanks.)


The photo did not give an ID, but next to this sbc car is Carl Grimes altered from Phoenix


Britain's first dragster?...probably not, but one built by Sidney Allard...is that him in the driver's seat??

 

that's jim zakia's '55 at niagara...

 

Dean, Herb Ries built that frame. Herb told me he made several rookie mistakes when building that car, like giving dimensions to the tube bender not using centerline of tube which made the drivers compartment a little snug. But he and Porter had success with it.

 

What ever happened to the car Mark?

 

Will have to ask Herb. Get back to you soon....
