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

Oh no you didn't.., thats "Gold Dust" man!
Powdered rosing, the good stuff. This looks like Pro Stock '70. The rosin is expensive and only brought out once in a while any more, usually in handfuls when their trying to bring the starting line back around after an oil down.

 

"Excuse me sir, but could you hold on a sec while I strap this Hemi to my butt?"

The two guys behind him. "Do we really need to call the medics? He's just sitting there with that silly grin going 'buh buh buh buh buh', he'll be okay"

Hey Ryan, would this car pass tech at Mokan?
I'm thinking the fuel can needs to move.

 

No worries. Glad you guys liked them!

Haha.. It's amazing how many people have commented on those shoes! They belonged to the guy in the seat.

 

Thanks for the pics Ross, That was one memorable night.
Cheers Charlie.

 

what....white carpet inside ? neat pics.

 

few pics from the hot rod reunion

 

That's Chris, Charlie, I couldn't take shots like that

 

we used to mix rosin and acetone in a squirt bottle. couple of ounces in front of each slick. SLOWLY turn tires until u felt the bite. then roll to starting line. no burn out needed. the bite was incredible. anyone know where to buy the stuff now just need a few ounces of rosin.

 

I can't recall the name of the company, but they're calling it "gold dust." Maybe a search for that would turn it up.

 

Here's a blast from my past. This is when my father and his brother both ran the car.

 

Hey Gasser61, Heres a little tease to hold you over til I make copies of the pictures,then i'll send you the care package after I get back from the US 30 show at York, to hopefully help you along with your project,talk to you soon....Rich

 

Oh man I love it!!! Thanks

 

Where are they now? I am(was) a NHRA member since the early 60s all I ever heared of is the white bread nitro racers. This team should be at the HR reunion and hall of fame. Why haven't we heard more about them.
