    Crazy as it sounds, I have almost zero photos of my first Drag Car, a 57 Chevy 210 Sedan that I raced at Beeline Dragway and Mel Larson's Speedway in 1966 through 1970! I was only 16 when I started, and we just didn't have real cameras back then! The car was very compe***ive 11 second sleeper in Formula 2 / D-HotRod, and I was known to be a "holeshot guy" budget racer. I raced the car almost every weekend back then, and only one time had any serious incident.... when I rolled the car through the "Big-End" at Beeline Dragway at the AHRA Winternationals in '68 or '69!

    The car was Marina Blue with Cragar SS Mags and a dropped straight axle front end, with M&H Racemasters It had a large polished aluminum front spoiler on the front instead of a typical grill. It was also Primer Grey for the second half of it's racing life (after destroying the first body).
    I have been looking through all photo albums at AZ Drag Racers Reunions hoping to find ANY photos of my car, but so far, no luck. I only just recently was turned on to HAMB by Curtis Forstie, of Chuck's Speed Center fame.... through a chance conversation.

    Anyone with photos PLEASE HELP ME.... I'm not getting any younger!
