Dragmaster Two Thing

 

Eddie Hill

 

Al Hubbard's "Flying Bedstead" vs. Hank Vincent's "Top Banana" at Vaca Valley.

 

From Ewell's WDIFL site, A FANTASTIC SITE!!
A comely roadster launches off the starting line at Half Moon Bay with track owner/partner Don Smith (white pants) watching in the background. This image pretty much sums up how primitive the sport was in the late 1950s-I doubt if this guy would pass tech today.

 

Emory Cook was in a heap of trouble right off the line against Jim McLennan in the Gotelli- Champion Speed Shop Spl. at Kingdon in 1959.

 

Jerry Card of El Cerrito owned Card Automotive Specialty in San Pablo, California, and campaigned a series of A/FMCs in the late '50s and early '60s. Card set a Standard 1320 record in the Sumner-Burt A/GMC in 1961. He also drove Ted Gotelli's first Fuller car briefly--shown here in 1959 at Kingdon.

 

COOL!

 

Gotta love the W motor!!!!

 

Check out the Enderele scoops on the injectors.

 

Altereds were so cool.Too bad they are extinct in the NHRA!

 

Ingenuity in action

 

Yikes! Guys tried everything!
What fun.

 

I love any Dragmaster car.

 

In the 60's, there were HUNDREDS of nitro cars, HUNDREDS!!
