CHUCK G....

This series of shots from botht he '70 Aussie Nationals and subsequent fire burn outs were taken from Drag Racing USA, no?

Great series of shots of those then active east coast based match race guys. BTW, Paul Stefanski of the Super Stang continued to flog the SOHC motor well into 1971 or so.

 

Yup. My connection at work brought in an old copy of his the other day(Feb '71).

 

Gary Densham versus John Force circa 1976 - Surfers Paradise - awesome place to race.

 

I am a sucker for the old Corvette drag cars

 

Relax Mark. I was looking at old weight breaks on the internet. I don't carry my rule book with me.

Say hello to Neil for me.

 

Ex-Dick Harrell car.

 

Damn! Is this the biggest thread ever? It's nearing a million views!

 

Well you got all the guys from Classic funny car board comeing here to see the pics.

 

Now that is my kind of dragster.....great photo.

 

read it and weep....



Hot Rod Magazine, 1970

 

Thanks for the heads up, I'll take three at that price.

 

More weeping:

 

This car is restored now, saw it at Englishtown a few times

 

Most of these photos are O/T for the HAMB, but its -4'F outside, 30 mph winds,
6-8 inches of fresh snow on the ground (and in the air), and I've got cabin fever.

Thought the rest of the world would enjoy some photos from this past summers drags.

 

wait, there's more...

 

hey, don't stop now...

 

I'm on a roll now...

 

Another cool one thanks guys!!!

 

Looks like Jim Nelson on the right in the NHRA jacket.

No problem. Will do, Jon

 

Here's a couple of shots. The owners live on the eastern shore of Md. now and still race and show it. The blue 55 is theirs too. The original car (red) has been back halved and the blue one is a tube chassis.

The old days...........Jim and Kathy Swagler went to their prom in this car.


and the new look..........

 

John Smyser's Terrifying Toronado, Twin blown 425's. Apparently didn't handle worth sh!t




Irwindale '67. OOPS!
