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

2-for-1...Wayne Gapp and Dyno Don Mavericks (which I thought made GREAT race cars).

From January 1972 issue of SSC.

 

Wally Booth's Gremlin P/S...wild stuff, that's all I can say.

8/72 issue of SS&DI.

 

Grumpy from Sept. 71 issue of Super Stock & Funny Cars mag.

I'm a Ford guy, but RS Camaros really push my button...wish I would've bought that RS Camaro funny car body back in 2002 when I had the chance....

 

Last, but not least, another one of the wallpaper segments; Shockley and Sons AA/A from the March '74 issue of PHR.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays...I'll post more when I get home next year!

Not in motion but...Thunder Valley Marion SD late 60's

 

Front wheels in the air, rear tyres boiling, throttle wide open, my only question is: How do you drive a car with balls that big???

 

Almost looks like a broken slapper bar dragging the ground on Grumpy's car in post #831.

 

i love this shot , i look at this pic and i can just hear the motor screaming

 

OK, one more....something's in motion here!

Flash Gordon from the August, 1972 issue of SS&DI.

 

I think they extended the slapper bars rearward, so that the reaction to hitting the pavement would counteract spring wind-up. didn't last too long though. My boss knows Grumpy, maybe I can find out more about this...

Here's one of if not indeed, my alltime favorite,albeit not in motion.

Royal,that pic #834,is that Flamin' Franks car?

 

Hey Royalshifter. Is this a New Zealand car? Looks like the ex-Cub Roberts altered...
