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

Hows it going Nitrobrother, I will get to those as soon as I size them down to fit the screen. Thanks a million for the link to the Sour Grapes shot. Check out my dads groovy purple britches, Oh Ya.

Also I do not know how to throw up the picture on the post versus a thumbnail. All the one Ive got are coming from my hard drive not a URL.

 

A few 15 more. I will bang out a few of Dads shots with a brief history this evening. Sorry th Don Garlits slide was upside down. Cant figure how to flip it with new vista

 

Hey Brandon, didn't you used to have one of these bodies?


(Hot Rod, Dec. '66)

 

I was wondering if that was him...in the words of a long-forgotten St. Louis DJ, those pants are cosmic, man!

Most people around here will create an account on Photobucket (or similar) and copy the IMG tags to post here (and on the Classic FC site, too!).

 

Very pretty car...



(Unknown magazine scans, but probably Drag Strip...)

 

Shark!

I think this is a Bob Plumer photo of KC's Doc Spence in A.J. Biggers' Skootin' Cuda.

Here's Sour Grapes at Beech Bend

 

Nice car,then I noticed the headlite treatment,ugly!

 

An inexpensive way to fix rusty eyebrow's that '55-'56 Chevy's were noted for. Surprised you didn't mention the Hemi hood scoop on a Chevy!

 

Thanks for saying something about the headlights. I totally agree, I looked at the picture 3-4 times and couldn't figure out what (or WHY) they did that.

 

Hemi or max-wedge?

 

Leichen and Drake, B/FD No 1. 7.70's at 200 plus with 331" Chrysler. Leichen later started Maxima Oil, a staplemate in the motor cycle sport world. His son Ron Leichen later became an accomplished factory backed motocrosser in the alte 80's early 90's.

 

Owner/Driver Paul Frost later embraced the Pro/Stock class and was long affiliated with Billy the Kid Stepp series of Mopar pro stockers

 

Frank Fredericci was every bit the shwoman that Lieberman was. He was performing return road burnouts long before anyone else. His remaining in the eastern sea board masked his accomplishments from the rest of the general fan population. He was a precious metals dealer I believe.
