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

Just had to post this pic again. Seriously, I read somewhere that Hubert recently had open heart surgery but is doing fine.

 

As far as I know Tony still has this car. He also ran it as a Super Stocker.

 

Yes they can and do run tunnel
rams. In 2009 NHRA will allow 4speeds to replace 3speeds even in cars/engine combos that did not original have them.

 

just spent the last week (at work), converting slides to pc, 8 rings of pics from '69 to '72 from when my bosses , The Schley Bros (Lightening Bug H/G) took back then.
These are all un published as they were his personal pics. I,ll add when I can...Sorry, I,m worrking on resizing em...

 

Great place to start Dodgeboy

 

thx, here is my hero from back then........

 

I don't know how he is doing now but it looks like he was doing alright then.

 

are we supposed to think he's looking at the shifter????

 

I was at the World Finals in Ontario Ca. the year the Grump brought out the first Vega. Pro Stock was way more cool back then.
I still have a Hooker Headers Sticker he gave me.

 

Yours, mine and quite a few others Im sure

 

PS, as a bit of irony we have recently made some pro stock pistons for him.

 

I must stare at the wheels up smokey charge of the FED's at least 5-10 times a day. Makes me grin every time.

 

I was at the last one at Ontario, and yes, Prostock was the best then.....
My next project is a V8 Vega...

 

Old Dominion Speedway First Strip on the East Coast. This is mid 50's Notice the DIRT!

 

My dad has told me the first drag race he went to was on the straightaway of a dirt
track called Pamunckie or something like that in Maryland where she grew up. He said a guy there had a
brand new '55 chevy power back killing everything insight, even the modified flat heads. From that day on he was a small block guy.

 

Do you have as many cool M/P car pictures as you do Junior Stockers?? Your shots are really something else,thank you for posting them...........!!

 

I lost days of my life to this thread but regained years of my youth! Thank you!

Old Race Cars.................. Motown Missile

 

Even Grumpy was happy........................

 

that's a classic!

 

Ron Taylors car, this pic is a few years old. I made a set of pistons/rings for him after this picture was taken. With the new setup he became the first Super Stock Tri-5 to run in the tens. I believe 10.97 @ 122 or 23. His pal Randall Klein runs a 265 two 4bbl/glide 56 Nomad that hauls the mail. These guys turn these things 92-9600 you otta here em.

 

Awesome! my grandparents started racing there and later at summerduck...too cool...
