Leffler and Loukas compe***ion coupe, from Parma, Ohio. Here it is unblown, on gas, but later it got a blower and nitro, winning often wherever it ran, including beating the Speed Sport roadster at the '60 Smoker's meet. Niel Leffler later got into top fuel.
Many of these photos appeared on Facebook, posted by Jason Ward, whose grandfather was Glenn Ward, who ran g***ers and dragsters, and one of the original drivers of the Howard Cam Special with twin Chevies, which appears in one of the photos next to Jay Cheatham's Olds dragster
That's where I found them. EDIT It's a page called "Front Engine Dragsters" but I got called out for posting them here so I'll wait for permission before posting the rest.
I’ve got a question for you @296ardun , does the Voight Automotive sponsorship have any connection to Fritz Voight?
Fred Forkner Yes, a later version of their roadster that started out as Art Tremain's street roadster...here is the yellow version:
Leland Kolb, modified roadster, ran out of Fritz Voigt's garage. Here is another shot of it, from Leland's son Ron
I believe that this is the Carrol Brothers A, with a blown Olds...if I'm right, it later got a chop...Bones Carroll drove
Charles McCandless ran this coupe with Doug Hartelt's blown Chrysler. The team started with a Willy coupe, went to a deuce, and then this Bantam. Here is the earlier coupe (Norm Grudem photo, after a pit fire)
