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

scanned from the original negative, better color

 

I new you'd catch that one Doug.

 

I drug it home the other day now it is sitting and rotting.

 

How about sitting and maturing instead of sitting and rotting?
Lot's of great racing history to think about.

Wow, a V.W. that is actually a pretty Tidy looking Drag Car.
I would have liked to see it run.

 

Pittsburgh is correct but not Keystone. I am almost certain it’s Pittsburgh International Dragway (PID) in Bridgeville PA. I ran there on few occasions in early 70’s, it closed in 1976. Keystone Raceway Park was located in New Alexandria PA.

This picture taken opposite direction at starting line of PID.

 

Straight axle on the 'bird??

 

One of my favorite cars always, Ade Knyff and Bernie Regels A & B Speed Shop Somerville, Mass

 

Grande American race at New England and my first race at the wheel of the King & Marshall car. When burnouts were burnouts...

 

Jack Doyle's Vespa bodied comp coupe, really a AA/GD is disguise

 

I used to walk around this car for hours and always see something different. Loved it...

 

The A&B Speed Shop Twin.

 

It's the old Pittsburgh Dragway,not Keystone. Far lane is Jim Wigglesworth in Charlie Scott's "Highland Bandit." Charlie owned Winters Foundry. Near lane is Charles Lee in the "All American." This was before he sold the act to Butch Kernodle. This was a Smoker Smith show.

 

Sure would like to see more on this car.

 

According to Abe - this was the first trip to the track with the Twin, everyone looking for leaks or any other problem.

 

I like those big ol' 64-66 Galaxies!

 

Pretty deluxe! Thing were changing.
