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

pretty quiet here, WAKE UP and POST

 

Check out those light poles! Holy track safety, Batman!

 

Another big batch will be coming from me sometime this week.

 

Buzz Here is the car in present day. Mark

 

Thank you Mark, I can see the changes from the layout pic's and now. Keep the car as nice as it looks. So many people don't understand how lucky they are to have a car like yours and many others Willys. I'm still looking for my dream car. Would be very simular to yours. Thank you again. Buzz

 

The first track I went to had cut off posts with cables through them for "guard rails" and that was only part way down the track, the rest of the way had a bank and trees.

 

I agree with you.I old Mission.If it was a local car,the late Bill Phillips maybe

 

A few shamelessly stolen from the Dragster Insider:





Let's see if this works. It's the Don Garlit's Speed Shop catalogue from 1964. Check out those prices! I'd love to field a competitive AA/FD for that! Click http://www.aafueler.com/garlits.htm if it doesn't.

 

BB/GS Niagara Drag Strip 1972
Independent Fron Suspension 2 years before the Mustang II

 

That Gremlin rules...

 

That thing re-defines "funky". I like it!

 

A '55 at the Nostalgia Drags at St. Thomas Dragway in Canada.

 

What a cool catalog.

 

I wonder if I email DG now and ask, he'd build me a SR-VIB frame, complete with front end and body work for the US$2075 it'd cost then. I'll even find him 1964-era bills!

Anyway, another couple, again stolen from the Insider








RIP Scott, never forgotten.

Finally, a request: Does anybody have a wallpaper size version of this?

 

Pitts. I love those line up photos. Thanks man.

 

Great PID photos.

 

70's

 

.....

 

I heard PID held a race inside of Three Rivers Stadium, but never saw pictures until now....

Looks like a 50 yard dash, but with cars (or maybe less....I assume they'd need at least 50 to get them stopped).

Pitts64 Great pic's of P.I.D. I worked for E.W. (the owner) for about 5 years and helped @ track but mostly raced 65 plymouth B/S, 68 Roadrunner E/S, 69 cuda modified class, 70 Cuda et class, work on S&A A/FD Crew Brought back a lot of memories, Thank You. Buzz

 

35 Touring- really nice action portraits there- does that say Edgewater Raceway?

Bill Truby- ruling.
Dig that D/G 'Vette & '58 Biscayne G/MP!

 

Red car is from Bluegrass Dragway Lexingon, Willys is Edgewater in Ohio.

 

...This is INSANE ! For a model replica builder like myself this thread is a wet dream. I started going through this thread 5 days ago for a couple of hours a night and have just passed page 100. I had to go to the end and give a sincere thank you to everyone involved in making this -BY FAR- the best thread I have ever seen. Keep the Drag Porn coming...!!

 

OK, but only since you asked nicely.
