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

Great to see this again, thank Mutley. I believe it was at this race(Lions) that Dale Armstrong had Frank Pedregon's motor in it. The primered front was from a parachute dragging wheel stand. We had another wheel stand after we installed the 396 and then installed wheelie bars. We also raced Atkins and Hardcastle's "Stinger " which NOBODY beat. Thanks Mike

 

WOW! GREAT SHOT MUTTLEY!
I'VE ONLY SEEN A FEW PICS OF THIS AT MY OLD JOB.
MY OLD BOSS (linwood hardy) RAN THIS, HE TOLD ME WHEN THEY FIST BUILT IT, THEY LEFT THE STOCK SUSPENSION IN THE FRONT, WHEN IT CAME DOWN FROM THE FIRST BIG WHEELIE, THE SUS. BROKE RIGHT THROUGH.
ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS BS-ING ME THAT HE OWNED IT, TILL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE CONFIRMED IT

 

From Island Dragway 1966-ish. Bardahl Bug versus Wild Bill Shrewsberry in the LA Dart wheelie contest. On spectator side after their runs.

 

These pages are from Custom Rodder - Sept. ‘57
I remember my Dad taking me to Hampton to see the drags and there was a local favorite with a new ’57 fuelie kicking ass in the stock classes.

I must have been just a little to your left that day.

 

Here are a few photos of my brother's 1st Vega and 2nd Vega circa 1971 and 72 sent to me by our friend Dennis Doubleday.

 

Here is a picture that came from Drag World prior to the 71 season. I had enetred the service in 1970 and missed the later fun.

 

Here are a fewof what remains of the Corvair and the Blue Hell vette as a gasser and on of the 66 vette at Lion's. I believe someone is rebuilding the Corvair using this body and the original chassis using a Chyrsler motor-SAY WHAT?

 

Muttley, what magazine is this pic from? I'd like to find a copy.

 

Here is a shot of the bug out of my collection, Joe Vanni photo @Sanford ME
