And - a picture of course (can't have too many conversations in a picture thread...

Gotta love the starter - Don't see that too often these days

Looks like Joe Tanner holding the starters box in his hand.
Long time starter at Dover Drag Strip and member of the F.T.A. racers group.

Here's another shot from the staging lanes at Cordova - in our area early Ford g***ers kind of rare as to the Chevy's and Willys.

 

Cordova again - pretty nice cooler.

 

Jungles car in primer? That's how it was captioned.

 

I remember this Model A well. Ray Zang of my hometown, Clifton, NJ. Ray went on to run numerous cars over the years

 

Yes, putting it on Larry (Butch) Leal. I'm looking for more shots of the Potter's '61 Ford if anyone has them.

 

Looks like the old Pocono Drag Lodge, Wilkes-Barre, PA

 

Cecil County Dragway, Rising Sun, MD

 

Very early ChiZler.

 

Great shot....the meet in '55 had several blown Chryslers and fuel Arduns, but the winner that day was Aubrey Hilton in a fuel flathead, which would later get the blown Chrysler in Hashim's car (nearest camera), which ran than as Hashim, Hylton, and Crossley.

 

I dunno, but I bet it was LOUD!
