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

Carols Mink AA/A taking a early turn off through the grass at 1970 Summernationals at York US30

 

Spirit?? AA/FD on the return road at 1970 Summernationals at York US30

 

Just right.

Mooneyham & Sharp?

 

I believe this is Junior Thompson.

 

^^^ I believe you are right.

 

Yes...Jungle Larry drove, as he did the 554

 

Art Chrisman at Saugus, early '50s...note the whitewall slicks


Two unidentified 3-windows at Saugus


More recent than above, pit shots...is that Ronnie Sox in the background...


Don't have an ID on this fueler at Lions, maybe around '60 or '61?


Emory Cook at Colton in the Cook & Bedwell fueler, once held the world's record at 168mph.


No ID at Lions


Blown Chevy with a chain drive blower, channel frame...very early '60s.


Looks like a 6-banger--Lions


Jr Fueler at sundown at Lions....lots of jr. fuelers showed up at Lions, always put on a good show....I thought about building one as a cheaper alternative to the B/FD I was running, until Fred Crowe, who worked at Mickey Thompson's, told me that he was spending about as much money on his jr. fueler as the big boys spent on their top fuelers....


No ID, anyone??


I can't read the name on the Willys door...


Fred Waterworth's Bantam coupe at Lions...Miller's Cams? Was that Ak Miller?

 

Had to start my account over, so here's a pic of Dad with the Yipes Stripes dragster before it was Yipes. Jim Fackeldey, US 30 dragstrip, Gary Indiana, October 9, 1966.

 

Good looking car, maybe a modified Chassis Research TE-440?...saw your post on FB, hope you find it.
