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

I am really liking this car...

 

I am thinking Chet Herberts car.

 

Corvette Auto Parts Spl. I think. Don Rackeman or maybe Jim Kirby involved.

 

I would love to see more pics of it.

 

Here's Nanook pissed off. She looked better when she was pissed.

 

Frank Hall in Jim Green's "Green Elephant" out of Seattle...

 

Jerry Ruth...

 

Notice on the Color Me Gone shot, the rear quarter panels are buckled. I think this happened more and more with these cars.

 

Radici & Wise out of Missouri...

 

Anyone know anything about the Ford behind this car? It has had a Ford type Prostock hood scoop moulded in on it. An old T-Bolt?

 

This is when things started going apeshit...

 

Pat Foster also drove it for Kirby...(Bakersfield)

 

More Pomona, Ted Gotelli's Fuller car on the push road:

 

Sam Parriot's "City of Industry," real craftsmanship in this car, earlier version was Cad-powered, was this one big-block Ford? (forgot)...think that Sam was the mayor of the City of Industry

 

Don't remember this Willys gasser

 

...or this one. looks familiar, but can't read the writing on the door

 

Don't recognize this one either (how many are old enough to remember that trailers like this were common for fuel dragsters, how times have changed!

 

Another unknown, interesting front suspension, looks like the torsion bar end is in front of the axle...I remember seeing this car but not sure who it is:

 

That is a sweet photo.

 

Big...

 

Arosio Brothers, from Tulare, one of the few gassers to run a blown DeSoto, ran hard, set lots of records, another version of this car has either been restored or cloned...this version was sort of a metallic brown, restored version is blue:

 

Dave, that is the Paul Candies & "Q-ball" Wales car out of Louisiana...

 

On the return road, not sure of this one either, maybe Mike Danylo in Boyd Pennington's fueler??

 

Finally, one really in motion ... no clue who it is but this is the way us old guys remember fuelers!

 

Love these classic street roadsters:
