Might be Raquel Welch

 

Perfect!

 

Coolest Dragster ever built ! One of hottest of it's time, sad ending though.

 

Karamesines, right lane with the late, great Don Maynard next to the roll bar up against Tommy Ivo and another late, great tuner Dave Zeuschel near Tom’s hemi.

 

The "Shoehorn" Reno, NV, picture taken White City, Or, 1960.

 

Must have been 1962, Tommy's "Barnstormer" in bare metal. Anyone notice all of the white cars in the background ?

 

Could very well be Larry Minor ! He employed the great Jack Bayer for many years.

 

Tommy Ivo.

 

If one were to squint and not consider that they are non vented wheels one (might) think they were six spoke Minilight wheels.

Larry’s second wife was my babysitter.
I’m at my moms for a 4th of July BBQ and just showed her the picture and she said that that isn’t Larry.

 

Jim, we were sand racing back in the 70's, and I knew Larry was the first to bring a Dragster out on the sand, and when I saw the 4 port Bugcatcher, that he ran on his early cars, just thought it might have been him. My brother Jerry was the first to set sub-3 second national records in T/F and FC.

 

Marty, you and I have met in the past and shared a mutual friend in Bob Stewart.

The sand drags were born in my hometown with Larry and my family was in the middle of the local action. I was just a baby but was dragged through it too. We are still friends with Larry and the sand drags are still a yearly occurrence here.

 

Jack Bayer was from my hometown too as well as,
Gary Murphy
Virgil Sellers
Dwight Bales
Bones Noteboom
And others I can’t remember at the moment
SCCA champ, Lee Midgley

It is, very early picture of her.

Baxter HQ in Portland? No wonder she doesn't have a tan!
