History Drag Racing pics..Personal collection.

Just wanted to share some pics from my father's personal photo collection. These were taken throughout his drag racing career that spanned about 18 years culminating in '73. Some of these are scans of programs he has, and others are drag news cutouts but most are good ole' pics..Enjoy, there should be more coming.








Below, my oldest brother, now 49 and my Dad trying out the new ch***is.

 

Great bunch of shots. Was your Dad racing at the time?

 

Great photos......definitely hope to see more.

This was his AA/A roadster..


This was his dragster at Bristol 1967

Sweet! Keep 'em coming.

 

Thanks for the photos... That's back when drag racing was REAL.


I'm subscribing to this thread, can't wait for the next installment.

 

Very cool. Looking forward to more............

 

So, so true..We've had more fun at the nostalgia events than we ever did at a "professional" event. We've been to Bowling Green every year with the exception of Columbus and had a blast each time. Really looking forward to the fuel car build we have coming up, can't wait!

 

Great pics. Thank you.
