Plum................Nice shots from South mountain. It was good to meet the man behind the camera and all the great photos on the Hamb.. We had a great time Sunday and the weather was perfect. We had our little white Morris van yesterday but hope to have our 33 Willys for the next show.

 

Great pics Plum. Was good seeing you and Jeff. How late did you guys stay? Did you see my .000 lights in rounds 1 & 2? Ended up winning the race. Feels real good, it's been a while.

 

I walked down to the pits to talk to you guys but we did'nt see you around. Congrats on the win..........I saw you cut that light. Maybe catch you at the next show.

South Mountain.What a great place to see some drag racing.Up close and personal.

 

Not true.... my daddy still does half track burnouts in his '65 front engine rail.

As for this thread in general... it is amazing.... i LIVE for these old school racing pictures. I had the priveledge of spending time with Gene Winfield in Cleveland, and he spent a good two hours over breakfast telling me stories of track life with Tommy Ivo... I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

 

I remember seeing him at York US 30 with that truck and trailer with the clear sides and you could see the car inside. Does anyone have a photo?

 

I know the exact trailer you're talking about, my dad has pictures of it, I'll have to see if I can get ahold of them and scan them. Mr. Ivo was the first name in drag racing I knew(probably one of the first things I ever said, lol). Pretty much my biggest hero. Then it was Don Garlits. Yeah, I'm old school like that. haha =)

 

Vixen..................I found one for ya........
