Event Coverage ***150 PHOTOS, Antique Nationals, June 6

Thank You Mazooma, I mean Mr.Clooney, for posting these pictures. I always look forward to your photo threads of the LA events I cannot go to.
Very much appreciated. And nice choice of car (and girls). The twotone '40 Ford was unexpected yet intriguing.

 

This is past the 60' mark!

 

That's it from me.

 

Doug, as usual, great photo coverage of a great event. You da man!

 

great pics. thanks for sharing.

 

Cool thread!

Thanks for the pics!

 

Thanks Doug......and Steve......

Thank you Mazooma! I have not been to 4ever4's antigue nat's since 1998. Is it more ''new" stuff now or more like it was at LACR, still inline 8's, 4's, and all the "GOOD" things , not alot of streetrod "think their old racer thingys"? If so I'll try to get there next year! Thanks again, Marv.

 

awesome pics that looks like a great time

 

He doesn't own it anymore. A guy called Chris in Orange County has it and the red 40 ford with the slicks which was one of Mike Bambers first race cars too.

 

cool stuff.

Great stuff, thanks to y'all for the pics.

Ferguson's Dragster (ARDUN flatheads) produces an incredible amount of horsepower for a non-blown straight 6. They said they can't get a big enough fuel pump to feed it. Thanks for posting.

 

Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

that last pic is disturbing
but as always thanks for sharing! great event!

 

The five window was loaded onto a flat bed, left front wheel was at a funny angle, apparantly it was damged pretty good. Track security was taking a report.

 

Doug (Mazooma1) ... great ... thanks for sharing!

Great to see that Elmer Snyder is still at it! ... His "Unsprung" Dragster made him famous ...
... but I've always dug his Deuce 5wd Drag Coupe:

 

And you got Too Tall Pat Ganhals back in the pic too.

 

Thank you Doug and Steve for posting. I was waiting all day to see the photos from the nats. Myself and Trad27 were busy scrounging parts outta the bario of Bakersfield today for our future projects. Got some ideas in the works for next years dragfest and nats. We'll make it next year.-Weeks

 

Hey, that's my stuff

And Doug, managed to miss you again - Don

 

We had the Front engine flathead dragster the "Antique Doll" and we had a great day! finally broke my dads personal record and got it to 12:13. The fastest our car has got with the flathead was 12 sec. flat, hope to get high 11's soon!

Will the pics from the photographers on the line be posted and/or a link where they can be purchased? Thanks!

 

This thing is awesome, it turned 8.17 to win top eliminator, sounds like an extremely pissed off sewing machine.

This was my first time for the antique nats, I'll have to go again next year. My favorite part was wathcing the guys run their Model T's. It's a good thing they were only running 20's, most of them looked way to busy stomping pedals, yanking levers, and adjusting things to go any faster.

 

Couple I shot

71 Year old Chuck Johnston in the Ex Bishop & Buhl dragster with an alcohol flathead with top exhaust ports and a Hilborn


Towing a 40 with a stock Model A


Buick 8


Pretty sure it was P Wood in this

 

Yes it was

 

Great photos, Doug! As I haven't been to the Antique Nats since 1980 (just before I moved over here), I was wondering of the hot '38 Buick coupe (running the 320 inch Straight-Eight) is still competing? I remember that when it ran, it ran well.

 

Super pics. Thanks
