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

Very cool, thanks for sharing again, and again, and again and............

 

Doug, you're such a show off.

 

thats sick

 

well i talked to my buddy , who called Louie roundpoint. Louie said he bought the vette from Mr Kim for $2,000 and a 57 ranchero. he said it had Mr Kim on the side so he painted it silver to cover it up. he raced it for a while then later he took the vette body off and put the warrior Pontiac body on the chassi and raced it like that for awhile and then decided to build a whole new chassi for his Pontiac. he put the vette body back on it's chassi and sold it to a guy form sasquatuan, Canada back in 73 or 75. and ran the new chassi under the WARRIOR

I also need help finding any info on the car that was called "THE DRUMMER"
i guess the drummer from the band credence clear water owned it

also if you can contact Mr Kim's son and ask him if he would like to talk to Louie to get more info on his dads car. if he would like to do that see if you can get a contact # from him and i will pass it on to Louie. just pm me the contact info

Does anybody have any pic's of Fritz Voight's dragsters????

Fritz was also Mickey Thompson's right-hand test pilot for Mickey's diggers.
Here's Fritz at LIONS in Mickey's 4WD dragster...

 

I PM the son of Mr Kim via the Draglist sight. He can choose the best means of correspondence. As for the Drummer flopper, contact fellow HAMB member BUSHWACKER 57. He was friends with the owners of this once very quick injected A/FC and has posted some comments about the car

 

This is a great thread. I remember seeing some of these race in Kansas City.

 

Sweet lord, that Drummer Camaro pic is perfect.

 

Hurst Hairy Olds... Awesome. Blown Olds in front, blown Olds in back seat. 4 wheel drive. I loved this car. I had talked to someone that was restoring it but never heard any more about it.

 

Y,

Have you seen this?

It appears it has been restored and is on display.

 

This is Gene Ciambella's car. Ciambella later made a name change to Conway=Gene Conway of C&O Trans Austin P/U fame and of course a bevy of fuel burning floppers, primarily Corvettes. His 1st fuel burner was the Secret Wepon Jeep

 

Shirl Greers first funny was often dubbed "The Worlds Ugliest Funnycar". But in light of what I have seen here on this site, and others, I would gather to say that there a lot of others that are more deserving of being flat homely.

 

No, I have not seen that, it's great to know that it has been restored,

Thank you so much for sharing that,

Y-Blockhead
