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

that is why the rule today is that the car has to cross to the STARTING LINE under its own power.

 

Did anyone read this?

 

this thread is a keeper!!

 

No, I don't wanna puke, but I am anyways. Thanks Groucho!!

 

If my memory still isn't too screwed up, I believe that the Ongais photo was at Riverside Raceway.
Now how many of you guys were at Riverside when they ran 1/2 mile drags?
Those were some crazy events, flat out for a 1/2 mile....holy crap!

 

Never saw 1/2 mile,but saw 3&4 wide many times at Green Valley,those could be interesting too.

 

Hey, I saw at Fontana Drag City in '65 four jet dragsters at a time....and one of 'em even had 2 J-47s. Man I gotta get a scanner....

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread!

"This was the car to beat as the Cleveland heads breathed much better than the Chevy stuff available at the time and there was no weight penalty as there was for the Fords in NHRA at the time."



Boy!, if there ever were truer words spoken.

 

I know there are a lot more popular cars but that Clear Spark dragster is beautiful.

 

Well maybe some parts moving....

I found some more pics of this beautiful Canadian car. Sorry they are not all in motion.
