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

A URL is the www. to make a URL so you can post pictures you just created a Photobucket account (or flicker any photo sharing website will do) I then put my pictures up there, then when I wanted to post a picture I clicked on the picture on Photobucket that I wanted to post I then right clicked the picture and went to properties there is a section that says URL with a http:// then some other stuff (each picture has something different after the URL) I highlighted that and then right clicked on it, and pressed copy. I then opened up a new internet explorer and went to the thread I wanted to post the picture on, I clicked on reply, on the top of the area where you type in what you want to say there is a yellow button with what looks almost like a mountain and a dot, you click that, a window apears with a http:// highlighted I then delete that and right click where the http:// use to be and press paste, hit ok then make sure your at least a space down before you post another picture so your pictures go down instead of across. and then repeat the above steps if you want to post new pictures.

 

Is there a nostaligic drag racing picture thread?

Between '64-'68, I was fortunate to have attended the Nats three times, the 'Beach a couple plus the inaugural championships at Riverside, Tulsa and Bristol. Here's a few from that period. Can anyone identify the last one?

 

The last shot looks like Tom McEwen.

 

The Revell All Star Race Team

 

"Can anyone identify the last one?" Mike is correct.

 

Again, who's the last one? Looks like the Riverside track.

 

Dean, Great to meet You and Joe at the GNRS! Thanks for the kind words..feeling is mutual!

Thanks Bucksnort, My Father is still having alot of fun with his roadster and his old friends.

 

Being computer stupid, I struggled with the "URL" thing for quite a while. Then I discovered that if I scrolled down the reply page and clicked on "manage attachments" and then click "browse", I could attach any pics in my computer pictures file. Sure made it simpler for me. Also, if you don't have the capability to crop and enhance original photos, download Google's free Picasa 3 program. Very user friendly.

That is great that your dad still has the car and is hanging with his old buds.

 

McEwen doesn't have blonde hair

I don't recall the car, but thats not Tom

 

I think you are right about Riverside...the car is Mooneyham, Ferguson, Faust, and (damn, forgot who the fourth guy was!!??)...anyway it was Gene Mooneyham's follow-on to the 554 coupe.

 

Maz:

Not sure if thats the Goose in person but its sure his car.

2 other shots of the Goose & I think the last shot is when the Goose won Bakersfield.

Plum

 

Thats neat I never thought of that, always used photobucket (it gets the pictures a little bit bigger) I going to try that now.

 

Mazooma 1:

I ran that threw photoshop & Its the GOOSE in person & of course his car.

Plum

 

That's his car............... There's a helmet sitting on the hood of the car behind the rollers, could be he's still back there. I have no idea who the two guys are positioning the car on the rollers.

 

"Jackson" makes up the foursome....................

 

Goo$e is sitting in the drivers seat of the wagon ...........
