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

Looks like the same bleachers Great PIC'S!

 

The 63 reminds me of an article in a late 60's Hot Rod showing the altering of the wheelbase. Same car by any chance?

 

The article was in Popular Hot Rodding in late 1966.

 

Connecticut Dragway

 

A lot of cool old paint tricks going on!

 

Sixties, the pictures you're putting up are phenomenal. THANKS.

 

been a while since i did one of those mag pics and laquar clear...neat stuff.... brandon

 

Thanks, I took these photos back in the day and witnessed some awesome racing in the mid 1960's.
Here are a few more.

 

More from the sixties.......

 

Anybody remember Frankes & Funk's dog?

 

i lost some intrest in pro stock when the lenco trand was brought in. i loved seeing the under dog win becouse the other guy missed a shift.

 

This is the Thomas/Pritchard car with Tom Oliveras driving the haze on this side is the J&M JR fuel car that had a handycap head start? they won

 

Former Paul Blevins Pro/Stock Vega.

 

What do the do in the summer ? Go to the drags !

From the 60s ....... Eddie Shack of the "Toronto Maple Leafs" and Bobby Hull of the "Chicago Black Hawks"

 

Larry Lombardo before he was "The Grump's" wheel man.

 

Man, that looks like Gene Fulton in the far lane at Green Valley Dragway in Alabama!

 

Wouldn't you like to drive a "Buick" ?

 

sure or 4 buicks

 

undressed

 

Can't tell...Is this an old photo or is this a recent shot or is this a new tribute car. Whichever the car is absolutely absurd, in a good way!!!!
I know TV Tom had this thing around....but to see it in the flesh would be cool!!!!

 

I would say the photo was taken well after the cars debut in 1961. The custom made fuel tank is the strongest evidence to support this

 

Been there............... it's a guy thing.

 

We all have

 

I still have a CJ tee shirt from when thay used to sponsor my drag car
