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

Yeh baby

 

Hurst wheels! ON A TRAILER??

But I finally got through the whole topic.


My contribution:

 

So whats the story behind the Richard Petty pic?

 

And why the hell is it in a "Drag cars in motion" thread????

Let's keep 'em "in motion"!

For you nitrobrother.

 

I don't mind pit shots, but here's an action photo for ya

 

No, but I have parts/decals to do a 66 and a 69 soon.

 

Here's one of my favorites. Not quite "in motion" but I think it's worthy. I wish I had a pic of this beast launching.

 

1320Paul that is some sweet artwork....I love the dragster one.

 

Some more from Goodguys Indy in the mid 90's plus one from the US Nats in 05. Not totally HAMB oriented but from one of my last trackside shooting efforts.

Well its taken me several weeks to look through all these awesome pics, but I was knocked off my seat to see this!
Its in my Garage as I type & its now for sale............................

 

The world is getting smaller.

 

Sheesh is that sucker high! Ya wonder what they were thinking back then!

 

You wouldn't believe how many times I pushed this car back to the starting line after the burnouts....lol Bernie had a cool car but Goodguys said he slowed up the show by not having a reverser; "Don't bring it back until it has one" we never went back.

 

who's that kneeling by the car.??

There was barely a mention of it in the book I scanned it from (NASCAR something) but as you can see he went with a vinyl roof - hoped it might give him an aerodynamic edge but it started lifting.

I assume he's 'adjusting' the windshield moldings (or something).

 

I didn't think Goodguys were that brain dead. That car rules!

 

I think pushing it back adds to the "cool" of it all. I would've said I'm afraid if I had a reverser, I'd be tempted into backing into one of you jackasses

 

Fuck reversers......that is a mean rail.

I think that's what the problem was.. to many crew guys got run over ,or passed out from exhaustion..

Saw a front engine car fold up like a cheap chair once at Bowling Green..was backing it up when it slipped into forward. He drove it right ino the wall..
In slow motion, it just folded up..messed it up pretty bad.

 

I'm pretty sure that's Paul kneeling, by the size of his shoe, Bernie had long ass hair back then too. I'm pretty sure that gray trailer is Paul's old trailer before the Mr. Ed.
If anyone has a video called "Time Diggers" they do an interview with Bernie and this car at Indy as a "Low Buck" approach.

 

Shiiitttt,,,,wind 'im up and watch 'im go,Royal,I don't know your or Kwi Kevs real names but,,,,I'm havin' more fun than the law oughtta allow watchin' the pics from you guys, and all the rest really.
