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

For all you 1960's SWINGERS!

 

All ways love these cats. Outlaw circut running Alts.
A/FD (Dad) AA/GD. Hart Automotive, Ron Potter, Dick Lahaie, Stan Bowman. D-42. Q-City. Thompson, etc.

 

Speaking of the Late Great Stan Bowman. The Flying Dutchman. You have not see Alt. Racing until you watched Bowman & Gretcho's go at it for an entire summer week in & wk. out! Stiff Competition!

 

Here ya go Gasser Heads...

 

Give the kid w/the camera some credit. He could always get that sun setting. Only time I wasn't working on the
A/FD. & Yes still Godzilla lives today. (but where is Ultraman?)

 

You say Gasser Rods? I'm from O-H-I-O!!! I say Ohio George! (?)

 

You remember The Hawaiian. Do you remember
The Tahitian???

 

More early Blue Angels. Sorry. They were fast and they
won A LOT!

 

O.K. if you do not remeber Gordon Collett that's your falt.

 

Dad had a buddy Denny B. This is Denny's car. Denny
Blows motor. Dad puts his 327sb in the frame which is
the first entry of the night (in the front yard) scroll back & compare.

 

Last but not least. You just don't jump in an A/FD.
Dad with a B/GD Back in the Day. It's been Blast. Hot Rod On! (& thanks to the Webmister for making the instructions to post Photos a bit more clear. So let's
see your stuff!) GoodNight & Have a Pleasent Tomorrow.-

and ????

 

Wow, I haven't checked this thread in ages. The 'in motion' part of the title seems to be lost on a lot of posters.

Interesting as hell, but maybe there should be a 'stationary' thread as well?

I've been scanning old race negatives lately, found this sequence of photos....
The driver was fine.
Anglia suffered though.

Very nice series of some of the UDRA's better stuff. I had the chance to see Gordon-the Collector-Collect at both the Winternationals and Supernationals 69-71. The rainbow hued Challenger Virginia Twister of Kenny Warren came West once or twice as well. As for the whereabouts of Ultra Man, he is at the sun getting himself revitalized

 

rough day for the anglia

 

Mazooma1, #3 ( as a pretty young Slavic lady that I met a while back said) "you crack me out". I agree with everything you said, but #3 is just too funny...

Greatest thread ever, dupes or not, it all good. Keep them coming.

There's too much other shit to worry about in the World besides a duplicated photo??

 

Sorry to show destruction...
but I just found these old negatives...

Clutch explosion aftermath:

 

^^^^^holy shit!!!

 

What happened to this guy's legs? Or is the answer quite obvious? ...

 

I do remember the "Tahitian," it was built as a mate to the "Hawaiian," I think by a guy named Blake Edwards. It went through several owners, and Paul Gommi wound up with it. New driver Gary Patterson was killed in it when he went off the end at San Ferdando in it.

 

You're thinking about a car called "The Grecian" owned by Blake Hill. My dad drove "The Grecian" for a short time. And a "Gary" was killed in it at San Fernando but I think his last name was "Allen".

Adam Sorokin...

 

Caption said that the driver was "unhurt." Hard to believe though.

 

That's what happens when you use bicycle wheels.

 

Let me be the one to give a HUGE welcome to Adam Sorokin, son of a Surfer and fast becoming a legend himself. Welcome to you sir.
Ross.

 

Absolutely agreed. A lot of people don't seem to get the concept, though I have to admit some of the stationary pics are cool too.

Some of them pretty much are a spoil on an otherwise UNBELIEVABLE thread though...

Could we please stick to "in motion" shots as the title more than suggests?
