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

Whoa!!! Great shot. You can almost feel the power.

For any new guys, that is NOT a burnout, but a run. Pre- zoomies, any idea of the year.

 

Stormin Norman Weekly in the Frantic Four early 1964. The photo is reversed.

 

Thanks Riceman. I knew there was something about it that didn't seem right. This looks better.

 

I've been watching this thread for some time now and I can finally post some pix of MY car in motion.

Cool stuff! I was just checking out that thread.

 

Thanks, I wasn't sure.

I put up the photo of the black chassis car. Right after I posted it, I found another photo with the SOHC red chassis car. It looked more like Pete's so I edited the change into my original post.

But before I had time to change the photo, Bucksnort had already quoted my post and the black chassis car still appeared in his quote although I changed the original. Is the red car in my original entry Pete's, then?

 

Tom ,you have it right now. This is the same chassis in both pictures. The chassis was beefed up for the Ford SOHC

Simply the best.

 

Thanks for the info...I would never have imagined that he would have used that same chassis.

 

What does that have to do with this thread?

 

Dean,

He must be an alien.

 

That Y-Block sounds awesome!

Stormy Byrd doing his thing at Eagle Field. Stormy bought this car from the movie industry and I believe it was originally the "Rounders" car, correct me if I'm wrong, built in '64 I believe. Photo by Neglected Steel

 

We got to see the Gamueda Bros. Anglia run at Eagle Field. Check out the run at the 5:50 mark of this video. Rocky
