MN from 1968

 

Few drag cars were as nasty looking as the "street roadster" class racers of the 1960's. Nothing today even comes close to these, the altereds, gassers and A/FX cars of that decade.





Craig Breedloves streamliner:



Hayden Proffitt's AMC funny:

 

the Dennis the Menace Prefect was converted into a street rod some where around the mid 70's. The backwards scoop on all GSTA gas dragsters was a club trademark. The late Ron Braun drove this car and the twin engined car

 

I work at a dragstrip and we found a number of boxes in storage full of pictures from the 60's. We'll try and scan 'em and get a bunch of 'em up. I know there are a lot of Garlits and Ivo, as we used to hold national events back then.

 

At the devil drags

 

Me in the BFD


and my '55

 

That's one bad ass Topolino! The outrageous chop makes it look just plain evil. Cool!!

 

M/T at Famoso 1960.

 

My 57.

 

Dean, that must be a jr. dragster

 

Ha Ha. I can scan pics, but shrinking the JPEG small enough is driving me nuts.

 

Well, it's no Dragmaster. It's the Greer-Black-Prudhomme rail after it was sold to some cat in Reno. Sez "Kent Fuller" right thar on the side.

 

"Dragmaster Kerry" is called that because he's building a Dragmaster style rail...

 

This one is for Tim Conder.

 

Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaw!!!!!!!

 

Picked up a couple of sticks of 1.5", one 11 ga and the other 10ga. DOM is EXPENSIVE!!!!! I also found some aluminum sheet for the body for cheap. Tomorrow after work the steel gets a ride to a friend in Wichita who's overseeing the bends and is doing the final tig welding after I get it tacked together.

The ultra bell showed up day before yesterday. The flexplate adapter will need some lathe time before it will work. :-/ The bell looks awesome though. Other than the torque converter and axles I have all the driveline.

HAMB drags 2009 here I come!
