Damn, Gary my like button is gettin' worn out!

 

From the Mickey Thompson stable...side-by-side blown Pontiacs, 4-wheel drive...guessing that this is the NHRA Nationals...anyone know more about this car?


Lions, BBC, no ID...anyone??




Hydrometer, that's how the big guys measured their nitro percentage...we little guys just added a gallon of nitro, and a gallon of methanol, or sometimes just a gallon of nitro (when we could afford it)...Mike Kuhl, maybe OCIR??


McEwen & Adams at Lions...probably early Saturday before the night crowds got there...


From Drag News, 1957...Dean Lowe has commented on this loud yellow coupe, still in a garage, unused in decades, how cool would it be to see it restored (or just to see it...) made the cover of R&C in the mid-50s


At the hit of the throttle, Lions, BBC


We will argue indefinitely about who the best pure dragster driver was...lots of names, but Jack Chrisman has to be close to the top of the list....


Not sure what's going on here...Jack Doyle's blown Chrysler gas altered racing a "vette"???



Boyd Penington at San Gabriel, 1957...another guy who should be at the top of the list of great drivers, gas altered, fuel altered, fuel dragsters....



Willie...what was interesting was that Willie Borsch was driving the Harrell Engines red roadster that day, but note below who else was competing:



Mousie Marcellus was also there racing his street roadster...wonder on that day if these two guys guessed that they would later become partners on the world's most famous fuel altered?


Unknown gasser, looks like "Reath Automotive" on the door...
