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

Beebe Bros, Vinson and Sixt. Recreated recently by the HAMB's own Robert Morris III as seen here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/beebe-bros-vinson-sixt-cackle-car.539612/

The paint is the same style as the Adams/Wayre/Mulligan car but not quite the same (plus they ran a four port Hilborn--I wonder why? )

 

The US Kids dragster out of Texas. Read about its re creation right here on the HAMB: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-u-s-kids-dragster-recreation.719987/

Yep, I am pretty sure that this later became Rick "Surf" Stambaugh's New Generation entry on the east coast.

Dunn and Yates, near lane.

If that is a brand new Ford wagon in the background, yes--1965 and probably when Glenn Stokey was still driving as Jeep Hampshire was still in the Magi-Car at that time (plus the paint job was reversed in all of the pix that I have seen of Jeep in this car).

Is this the Rico Bros gas car?

 

HELL YEAH! GO GARY GO!

 

LOL More later.

 

This may be Merek Cherktow. The paint design on the helmet does match any photos that I have found but the colors appear to. I also checked to see if it may be Leroy Goldstein but he used a plain white helmet in the dragster. The fact that Kalitta is in the other lane with the Cammer engine points to Cherktow as he only drove the car for a single year after Dan Westerdale quit and the time lines align.

Isn't Merek Cherktow on the HAMB? I believe you are correct, it is him.

 

This is Charlie Hurley running the C&H automotive dragster this was at mokan dragway somewhere bout 63 or 64 the flagman is David Hightower Charlie was the first person to make a pass down mokan dragway in a real bitchin 36 chevy truck gasser it was called "Big Iron" just before he passed last year they had found the actual truck and the new owner contacted Charlie and he got to see it after all these years

A little too close to the fence for LIONS, San Gabe or Fontana. 'BIG' raced everywhere in those days. The white pipe will eventually give us the answer. Maybe.
