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

This thread is nothing but amazing. When it starts to slow down juuust a little bit, you guys just keep the cool coming. The last three pages are fantastic.

 

Hey Muttley,

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the great new photos!

Just like the guy said, just right when you think this thread is slowing down, it comes alive again.

Thanks to Royal Shifter for starting it, Ryan for letting it roll on, and all the good people who have contributed photos.

I am so shook up I gotta get to the Jack Daniels and Honeybun!

Some night time action in B/W,

 

Prudehomme's Torkmaster?

 

When you went to In-N-Out for a burger they would put flyers in the bag about the upcoming match race at Irwindale. When I was a kid I used to save them then my dear mom went on a cleaning binge and toss them and my baseball cards out.

 

I saw this car at Pomona in 1971. It won its class and went several rounds. 1971 was about the last year that the classic bodied gassers were considered competetive at the national level. They replaced this car with a Vega

 

LOVE Mr.Plumer's shot of the LA Hooker. Hope you don't mind, I cleaned up the artifacts on it. Love your photos, thanks for sharing them with everyone.
