Man I loved flat track and all the other derivitives: speedway, short track, TT. Very nice

 

The little dragster was 1968 World Champion Jim Green from Washington. Ray Hadford drove it. Lovelle Bros were Irwindale regulars with their 9 second A/Street roadster. And Don Hamptons twin tandem AA/C served as the basis for the twin egined Corvette flopper that surfaced in 1970.

 

55 Chevy ran nitro and qualified for a few 8 car open AA/FC events in 1966. Ran mid to low nines. Errant AA/FA is Roger Garten in the Bishop & Bheul car.

"From as early as 1962, the General Electric Ordinance Dept. in Pittsfield, Mass., undertook a study for the US Army which may lead to the building of a manned walking machine, with arms and legs, ….. where tractors might get stuck."

 

Palamides built the car, he didnt own or run it. I cant think of the guy who ran it. Maybe my memory will kick in after some McDonalds coffee. Strong argument for wearing nomex gloves though. Nice, hot jet fuel bath.
