The fuel line on Holly's car passing right over the scatter shield would cause me concern.

 

Blurry photo but I see Jungle in there.

 

Question for the group?
Google doesn't always have the answer: anyone know if there was a successful effort to verify the GBP win/loss record?

 

ttwo -

Please explain GBP..!

Greer Black Prudhomme?

 

Greer, Black, Prudhomme (dragster)

 

Dean the late 60's and early 70's had some creative paint jobs. REMEMBER,,, sorry about the OT vehicle .......

 

Yeah Mark, I wasn't thrilled with that design either, but Ron Foreman did it for me for free so I couldn't bitch about it. That goofy bastard with the cowboy hat ain't helping it either.

 

Looks like a rapala.

 

Thanks - should have been more specific - showing my age. Maybe never know the answer for sure.

 

Looks like he is racing the this car before it was painted.

 

GBP ?
Greer-Black-Prudhomme
I see said the blind man...shoulda known.

Thanks guys.

Chrisman & Cannon attempt at a twin fueler, like the Coburn and Leffler "Iron Mistress" and the Greek's twin, made a lot of smoke but was too heavy to be competitive. Interesting that Art never built a body for it, as he did his other dragsters, probably wondering if it would be worth it...


Romeo Palamedes beautiful car, built by Pete Ogden...this is an early version, Desoto powered. it later got a Chrysler with a front-mounted blower.


Wayne Ferguson's "Satisfaction" modified roadster at Pomona


Phil Freudinger at Colton during a SCTA-sponsored drag race. SCTA normally just ran the lakes and Bonneville, but tried a brief stint at drag racing....Phil also partnered with Tom Cobb on several Bonneville cars


One of many gassers in his storied career.


Don't have i.d.s for either car..pretty sure that this is Fontana. (See Roo's note below, could be Winter & Potter "Vandal," I agree, Joe Winter and Eddie Potter, two great characters...if I remember right, it had an iron cross painted on the back body.

 

A little off topic.
The Standard 1320 website is derelict, nothing works, email is dead too.
Anyone know what happened there?
Went to buy some stuff, zippo.

 

Working for me right now....

 

I see what you mean, the order system is broken...Try again tomorrow ..

 

I tried emailing, returned address doesn't exist.
