If anybody out there would like to see your favorite car in here but you haven't quite figured out how to get photos of it found and posted send me a "conversation" (click on avatar photo of mine and hit start conversation) with the name of the car and or owner and I will do my best to find and post some photos if I can find any online.
Where can I watch good footage on film at Lyons? I know there is some on You Tube but there is so many posts . I would love to see my dad race on film Sent from my SM-G900P using H.A.M.B. mobile app
Check out the 3 part Lions DVD. http://www.amazon.com/LIONS-GREATEST-STRIP-1955-62-Gillespie/dp/B000L6KTCM
I have the 3 disc set of LIONS CD's. Excellent!!! Anyone who was there will appreciate Don Gillespie's work on this set.
Thank you I found all three DVD's the collection I bought it on EBAY for $20 today . I'm looking forward in seeing it
Am I seeing backward or is the drag link on the wrong side of that car. Slick coupe by the way. LOL look in the background, that's pure hell isn't it? Your ride fits right in here.
I saw this photo on the thread and it sure looked like my dad in the picture because of the purple helmet and I was right the pic has been refurbished to bring back the color . The 2nd pic is him sitting in the car this is my picture Sent from my SM-G900P using H.A.M.B. mobile app
Saw this car win a fuel altered show at the Beach. The blown cars couldn't go straight, and your driver put a substantial hole shot on the other injected car (a roadster) in the final. Exactly like he told him he was going to in the staging lanes. A vivid memory from my misspent youth.
This is why Fuel Altered are still revered, the verity. The different chassis ideas, different bodies, different motors, it's cookie cutter.
Here is a different shot of my dad in the black Magic Muffler car one of the pic were in the Rodder's Journal very nice write up on the Magic Muffler car I called Austin Speed Shop and they had back issues they gave me 4 magazines for free to give to my kids Rocco was great and they do beautiful custom work Sent from my SM-G900P using H.A.M.B. mobile app
gunter bros was an inspiration when i built this car.when i raced it was never considered an altered- but a door car because it had a roof! was a fun car but gone to a good new home.
That T of yours is one cool comp coupe, regardless of category The Gunter car was quite the inspiration, a really nicely finished car. Any chance you can give us some details on your car, I don't recall seeing it before. Curious what wheels are on the back.
DDDenny-my t ran an alcohol injected 383, turbo 350 and a 9" rear. rear wheels were american gusseted magnesium 5 spokes.it finally ran to fast for it's chassis ( 9.44@ 140 ) so it got retired.
That is exactly what I thought they were, about the only hint was the gussets, because of the photo not being very clear back there. Probably one of the rarest of all the vintage wheels. Again very cool car.
