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

That is a really nice group of pictures...thanks!

 

No problem!!!!.....

 

Don Garlits.

 

Wow. Didn’t know that but liked the picture. Especially the Trouble part.

 

I wonder if Don's GMC had a V-6 engine ?

 

Was he the class winner

 

Jeg Coughlin Sr. was the D/G class winner at the 1959 Nationals in Detroit. He turned 14.06 @ 97.71 mph.

 

Mom!, daddy’s smoking again.

 

Wait! What? I was distracted by the tire smoke could you repeat the question?

 

Yep! That's what I thought...

 

Probably a Pontiac motor....

 

Just to initiate the young, or those that missed it the first time around...
You see anything wrong or maybe different with this car ?



A Ford with a 55 Chevy nose ! Look closely..!

Mike

 

Yes, other than the fiberglass nose, it has the rear wheel openings opened up too. Is it chopped ?

 

It’s obvious you’re still distracted, that’s not tire smoke that’s VHT spray. It was applied by the distracter at right side of picture, who is holding the VHT jug that I’m sure you also missed.

 

The picture that I am looking at does not show any tire smoke / VHT spray, or anyone at the right side of the picture.

 

Mike, I have looked close. What am i missing ?

 

The only thing wrong with it is that scoop, otherwise it works well together.

 

. . . it also looks like it has the "moonroof" -- unusual for a drag car, maybe heavy to make the F class.

 

A '54 ford with a '55 Chevy front end for the win Alex!

 

I hope Steve has a good skid plate under the engine and trans!

 

Not sure whats going on there, but looks like something broke in the lights, that STUFF is dragging right there.

 

I have never seen the collector headers on the Ramchargers before !

 

A lot of that is perhaps trans blanket.
