    KOOL thread......... the Bierman Racing car is one of my favorites, got to see it ''sort of'' make a run the first year I went to the HAMB Drags.

    Need to find a picture of my buddies Model A altered injected drag car. Someone might have pics already, it was the silver A sedan with a massive chop and the driver who is about 6'5" tall and 250 pounds looking over the roof line, it was at the HAMB drags last year.

    [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I doubt it. Dave Zachary (Owner/builder) was killed in this car when it flipped at speed and the roll cage failed. I read somewhere that it was cut into pieces and sold for scrap.[/FONT]

    Hell yeah!!! Do you happen to have more pictures of Jim Lytle/Tex Collins' "Trash Truck"?

    I've been thinking about building a scale model of this odd duck and need som more reference material before I can start planning the project.

    Yeah, the key word being "had". The first time that chassis decided to droop a little he probably lost his balls, along with about 5 lbs of ass.:D

    I believe the orange bimmer is from around MA somewhere. I see it every summer at local shows and it was at the world of wheels in Boston back in march.

  21. Hotdamn I love this thread. Great pics everybody! I have a bunch of old Super-8 footage from OCIR circa 78-82 when I was a lil' squirt and me and pops would hit the drags every Sat. I'm having them transfered to DVD so once that is done I will try to post a few stills on here. I really wish drag racing would loosen up and we could see some more of these funk-mobiles smoking the hides and putting on a show!

    Something that might be cool, find one of the Toyota V8 hemi's and stick it in there. That would REALLY make people scratch their heads! lol
