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

Here is an unpainted Mike Sullivan at Bakersfield laying down some oil and flame.

 

I LOVE IT!!! His foot is still down;the tires are still spinnin' and smokin'! Great shot Bucksnort.

Hubert only had two Falcons. He built me one that looked almost identical to his. It is the one that he got all the publicity with at the 66 AHRA Winternationals doing wheelstands.

I think InlawmodelA posted some of the best shots on here! If you want to know what it really looked like, the backgrounds are priceless! Also Fiat's that were steel, they had opening doors! Great stuff!

 

In a time, long ago....

 

I've been thinking of doing a new composite Fiat body, now it's got me thinking about doing an opening door option...

 

and unchopped.....

 

Lost for words so many great pictures i love this sheet.....

 

OCIR ran a lot of the 32/64 funny car circus shows that prompted the surfacing of some rare cars like Bill Smallwoods Vega in the near lane and the King Bugaloo Cougar in the other.

 

Timing is everything. The photag nailed the shutter just as the blower popped and the fiberglass pieces were still clearing the roof.

 

Back in the day all the guys would burn across the starting line 1 or more times to get the rubber down.Used to do it all the time in my Modified Production car,but not with the door open.Did see the door open deal quite a bit on others,though.

 

Offhand,I would say that engine is toast.

 

Looks better in color,Mazooma.

 

OOOPS!

 

Wow!
