Musta hung around TV Tommy!!!!

 

Pretty sure it is....there couldn't have been two of 'em!

 

Thanks a MILLION guys and a great New Year to everyone.

 

this thread is so far beyond awesome.... thanks to Royalshifter for starting it!

 

I'm looking for any pic's and info on Joe Gazzana's "The Bold One" alky funny cars, he was the 1972 UDRA champion. When I was 10-12 years old and living in Wisconsin I would ride my Schwinn 5-speed to his house to clean the car up and just hang out. Neighborhood kids are always important team members right..

Sorry these aren't in motion, just want to show the cars I'm interested in.

 

If this isn't the nastiest door slammer ever, I don't know what is...

 

looking for more photos of dale armstrongs CANUCK funny car


ALSO looking for photos of the HAMMEL & GARVIN Fiat FUEL ALTERD that ran at lyons Wa & BC with loren Cook driving
thanks

 

This thing is FANTASTIC does anyone have more pix of this car?

 

A friend of mine has that car unrestored. If I remember correctly he bought it from Garlits.

 

It was the Galpin Ford. I have some Jackson Bros. video of it racing Ivo's Wagon Master at Fremont. Car was powered by 4 alky fed 351 Clevelands

 

You got my vote here. It seems every part of the country had its own heads up circuit devoted to normally aspirated funny's. A great show by themselves or serving as an accompaniment to the blown AA/FC's

 

Bunny is 60+, still looks great, and pilots her alcohol funny car as good as ever.

Somebody please post an approriate '62 Chevy picture
Yeah, I know they came out in '61 and you could still get them in '65,
but 1962 was THE YEAR

 

will this do?

 

This Steve Bovan. Bovan orchestrated a botched kidnapping in the early 70's, wherein it cost him his life at the hands of some involved party

 

Is this photo John Wenderski???

 

The George's Corvette Shop Vette was obviously a former dragster, powered by a bored/stroke 327. By 1971, George Reece had this car, and two other standard Vette bodied floppers in his racing stable. I recall seeing ads in the weekly tabloids wherein Reece was promoting his cars for match race bookings.

World's fastest iron block 409!

 

Looks like he moved the diff forward a tad.

 

That's what I call perfect garage art.
