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

Got to see his killer 70 A/FC Cuda at Pomona and OMS in 1971.

 

Fred Hurst, 1968.....

 

Fremont, 1963....

 

Love that Bantam Rick. There were some bitchin' cars in Nor Cal in the 60's.

 

Yup, you're right Dean....and alot of great tracks to run on back then.

 

Woo hoo!!!!
I'm not a huge cuda fan, but that looks cool!
The bantom is killer too!!

 

Husrst won the title of Street Eliminator Champ at 68 Tulsa. He beat Bill Grumpy Jenkins A/MP 69 Camaro.

 

Heres a few more Im sure have been posted but its a refresher.

 

Couple more.

 

Look at the roll bar and it's one brace. The times they are a changin'.

1959 @ Riverside....Hashim, Hylton & Crossley.

 

Action Auto, 1961.....Driver needed, requirements: must have no fear, and an extremely large scrotum, accepting applications now.

 

Indy, 1968....random staging lane shots.



....bitchin' modified roadster with a blown wedge.

 

In this episode, Herman loses the family car via a race for pinks with one of his son's classmates-a "professional drag racer." The "pros" car was actually the Bill Martin Chevy fueler. In the scene where the Dragula makes a run, you can smoke emanate from a tube before the car even makes a run. 289 Ford didnt have enough beans to legimately smoke those M&H's.

 

"Jungle" Larry Faust....

 

Tell that to the late "Sneaky Pete" Robinson!

 

But Robinson wasnt limited to just a pair of 4 barrells sittting atop a cross ram manifold. That and a C-6 tranny, hard as ice slicks and a funky non functional-from a pure performance stand point-chassis.

 

saw that car today at the Pumpkin Run...on a flatbed truck...

 

it's not,stock wheelbase long box .

 

Here's a couple from my Dad's old pics from Bonneville in SLC:





That's my MOM.... lol...:






That's my Dad's '61 on the right:

 

Garsh damnit those are great shots!!!!

 

Yup, appears to be a cammer bolted to that Logghe chassis

 

Connie Kalitta,I think.

 

The Greek, 1961....

 

LOL....Your mom is displaying the same look my then girlfriend, now wife, gave me when I took her that one time to the drags, a 32 car show at OCIR. "OK, we have been here an hour, when are going?"

 

This T roadster might be the Goosic Brothers, think from Phoenix, ran a good-running Chevy...
