Just found this thread...It's AWSOME!!!
I'm a 70's kid and this thread took me way back

BIG THANKS TO ALL THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS THREAD!!!

 

Wow-that Lime Fire pic is fast!

 

swcmaz, Thanks for posting pics of the Mister "T" Corvette. I'd like to see more pictures of it. Love the Psycodelic paint jobs of the era.

My buddy Rusty Delling drove that car after Vic, and he is the one that had the nasty crash in it at Lions. It kicked the rods out, banged the blower, the blower hit him in the face knocking him out, and then crashed hard. He was critically injured and quit driving funnys after that.

 

Jeez Plum, if you keep this up I'm going to need another memory stick. Great stuff!

 

I was at Lions when Rusty crash. It was bad.

One of these days I'm going to have to tell you how I got involed in drag racing.

My first drag race was in '59 at Lancaster dragway in PA. Never forget that race as I lost $5.00 that night as the last run was between a cycle & a dragster and there was no way a dragster was going to lose to a cycle.

It cost me $5.00 to find out I was wrong. Big money in '59. LOL

Last photo of Big John & M/T would have been a good race but Big John red lighted.

Nighty night.

Bob, who was driving for John then?

 

I think it was Rich Siroonian.

 

Sure could have been, but impossible to read the name. Could it have been Dick Bourgoise?

 

Not Dick for sure. Probaly was Rich if I rember right but I year Big John fired Arnie Beling I think. I also think it was a later style 'Cuda.

Rich Siroonian drove at Indy in 1969.Dave Beebe also drove the car that year.Plum is correct,Behling drove the car at Indy in 70,got fired there,too. Dennis Doubleday
