Thanks Dan, I'd never seen a photo of the original injectors untill I saw the article in Automotive Industries. That four carb Miller intake has gotten far more photo coverage.
I've posted this link before. It's a download of a 1958 Sid Davis production called Ingenuity In Action, about the 1958 Hot Rod Nationals. It's in color, and in two parts. Lots of drag racing. http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=ingenuity%20in%20action%20AND%20mediatype%3Amovies%20AND%20collection%3Aprelinger
I'm with the rest of these guys Larry. If Doc has the car please get some pics so we know. Do you have any ideas how cool this is? Will you go take pics of the car so we can see it to verify what he and you are saying? Come on man! This is good stuff.
The one bad thing about that first pic is, yes its in color but, most every thing is still black and white!
Gary Cagle,,,Newhouse Special C/Fuel Dragster,,,,61-62. 300 cu inch Chrysler on Nitro.Ran mid 170 mph. That's yours truley in the MOON shirt,& my mom.Location unknown.This car was sold to another Fuel racer named Dan Horan,who put an Olds in it & had some success. Photo courtesy of Don Prieto.
Cagle & Herbert(Chet).First car to go 180 at the March Meet(twice,,1959). Location unknown,but this is the car that almost cost my dad his life in Great Bend Kansas in June of 1959.The guy next to the engine is Elliott Estrine,a longtime family friend.If I didn't know any better,they were attatching a floor jack to the front axle.I'd heard stories about it.Photo courtesy of Steve Gibbs.(I have a ton of pictures of this thing in B&W & some of them are the aftermath of his crash in Kansas).
Beautiful! check out the early "ground effects" on the Red 45 and the killer paint job on the '41 pickup behind 225B. And who was it that was draming about running 2 belly tanks side by side just the other day?
Every one of those salt flats pictures are available in a book called, "The Birth of Hot Rodding" by Robert Genat. It's about $35 and worth every penny. I hope you guys got his permission to scan those pics. Here's one version of the cover, the other has the Pierson Bros' white '36 3-window on the front.
this book is cool! i was just flipping through it last night at Summit. it was only 25$ i think at the retail store. not sure if you can get it through the catalog or not. next trip to summit it's definately on my list of stuff to get. Thanks for the pic posting, too!
