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

I can't hear you...

 

Wow! Don't know when I've seen a photo that depicts the good old days better. The guy running down the drag strip in a roadster with no helmet or roll bar, the open megaphone on the Matchless, the guys with their collars up standing right next to the track. Cool!!

 

Porky Zartman, driver of the famous "Filthy Forty" Willys C/Gasser was the driver of this car too. He won the World Series of Drag Racing in Cordova, Illinois with it and also set a Standard 1320 Drag News Record. Before the B/Comp coupe he also drove this C/Altered Chevy.

 

Holy shit I just fell out of my chair......this little bastard is cooooooooooool!!!!!!

 

wow! amazing pics!!

 

Dad's 'Vette

 

looks like that last shot of the 'Goose shows an M&H decal on the car, but he's using Gooodyear slicks!

 

The "Ugly Duckling" Don Millard, Spring City, Pennsylvania.

 

I beleive this is Joe Winters car with Winter himself behind the wheel. His unique sitting position is attributed to the need to accomodate one of his amputated legs-Winter had bone cancer. Note the simple face mask allowing the side of his neck to be exposed.

 

LOL...I recall seeing this car racing Bracket 1 at Irwindale.

 

Where is this pic from? This is Jiggs Shamblin 1958. The next year he teamed with the Hollish Bros, using this chassis to build "MISCALCULATION No.2" thanks Todd

 

That had to be LOUD and the fumes right in the face!
