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

Ernie Nicholson was one of the most competetive African American racers around. At one time, he held the ET strip records at all three major So-Cal venues for AA/GS with this very car. Tony Nancy built the motor and the car was used in lots of Racer Brown Can ads.

 

One of my favorite A/SR of all time. Co-Owner/Driver Kaneshiro was a Japanese American strawberry farmer from Riverside Ca. This car either owned the record or toyed with it at will. I saw it win Street Eliminator at the 1969 HRM championships at Riverside. Note Fouglar Ford sponsored Cobra Jet Torino in background.

It's so cool seeing the S and S cars from back in the day!!! Makes it so much sweeter when we see Fred and his gang when we hit the nostalgia races!!!

Dental emergency yesterday so I am not doing anything today and thought I would scour the web in some obscure sites for amusement.

 

Dang I love the C-1s ... everything else is just foreplay! Thanks

 

Nice try sneaking in a model. Are you just checking to see who is really paying attention?
