What's that about a 12 quart deep sump pan on that Chevy II!!!!!

 

I was thinking the same thing, wonder if it ever hit the ground??

 

1965 Aquasco Speedway, Aquasco, Maryland

 

That day at the track it arrived on an open trailer. It needed crewmen on either side to lift it up as
they backed off for the pan to be able to clear the back bar of the trailer !

Thanks for posting this, guys. Jeff definitely deserves it - a real hot rod pioneer and all around great guy. I have more on Jeff - stay tuned - but this car was my favorite of his. They built it in a rented shop over the drug store on Balboa Island. Jeff still has the cowl...

What I like best is the close proximity of the seated fans to the edge of the track.

 

Dog427435, Loving these old pics from Long Islands 3 tracks. Lots from Islip & Westhampton and I see you've just posted some from NY National. I grew up at NYN, my mom & Dad worked there and Dad raced at all 3 of these tracks. Great memories. Thanks

 

It's about time I contribute a little to this thread...

Here's a bunch of pics that a friend of a friend found at the dump recently of all places. We're thinking they're from the Sanford Airport drags. Does anyone recognize any?

Check out the flag start 3-wide racing!!
