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

Right on, I love watching NTF but the "older" looking cars like "Running Wild" are much better looking. Old school Cerny type paint. I hope to see more of the older looking cars out there.

 

AHHH... that's better. Chrome bicycle wheels, pie crust slicks, vintage power... balm for the soul.

NO..Dom bought it from him after seeing it at the Thompson Gasser Deal a few years ago..

Is this the body that the Hussey bros/Jim Walton ran as a fuel funny for a short time, I think in the early '70s? It was so heavy it took at least 2 guys to lift.

 

Phil,
the Hussey/Walton Canned Heat body was a 69 Mustang.

Anything with a Vincent motor is cool and the Barn Job was one of the coolest.

Olympic2 Is this any better,Ran 6.09 at English Town,2005

 

Yes sir, Dale- your car retains the look, and who would argue with your performance? It's just the ultra high seating position on so many of the newer cars. It's just wrong...

 

This is Ed Moore driving the later to be dubbed "MOB". BTW, there was never a Heidelberg Speed Shop-it was a joke

 

WCD someday I would love to meet you...your knowledge of this sport from a great era is amazing!!!!

 

These are for you WCD

 

I met Ed when he came to Australia driving John Lindsay's Impulse flopper. A really cool guy.
