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

Great stuff Muttley, but I am holding you personally responsible when my computer crashes. Does anyone have the details on this black and white ?

 

Thanks, I just wish I could have been around at that time to see them in action and take the pictures myself.

 

You can see where the police Cuda is quite literally an all steel p***enger car gutted to the max. Fremont was like Lions wherein the weirdest of the weird showed up, but no where else.

 

I was all of 13 or 14 when while standing next to this very car in the pits, the crew fired it up. A glob of raw nitro went into my eye. I began to rub my eyes furiously with my shirt while some of the crew laughed saying "Welcome to drag racing kid." Then I heard a female voice a****st their ranks curse at them for being insentive, whereupon she wiped my eyes with a kleenix. As I regained my sight, I found my "nurse" to be one of the same ilk as seen above. In the midst of puberty, I found myself star struck by her beauty.

 

Kinda surprised me when I saw this one this morning. Here's what was sitting on top of the pile on my desk ready to scan for ebay! December 1960
