    Green '37 Chevy coupe advertises Warren Dean Cartage. Google search shows it might be a crane company in New Zealand. :eek:

    Maybe this will help :D

    The black FJ ute indicates its either in Australia or New Zealand, I don't recognise the track, its cold, so I'd agree - New Zealand.

    Yeah, that's cool. Reminds me of the "T'RANTULA" model I had as a kid.

    Yep, they are N.Z. race cars. If the photos are recent it may be at the opening of a brand new dragstrip at Taupo on Jan 2nd. The nostalgia racing is really taking off over here. My brother is building a nostalgia front engined rail, Chev 409 powered.

    Sure is NZ, the Pandemonium dragster is run by Nasty Norris and is very cool, I just found I'm out of town when the Nostalgia drags are on next month so are fully bummed out !!!
    Stovebolt, Cold ?? aren't you from Melbourne ? I nearly froze at Johns picnic a couple of years back.......
    I'm guessing like Rusell its probably the new strip at Taupo as it doesn't look familiar to me, would have been about 2nd of this month ?

    It was only cold because there were some Kiwi's over, and they couldn't be telling everyone that it was a great event on a hot day, now could they???

    hey fella, on that ***umption theory it must be the USA due to the Chev......
    Its NZ, not only do we not all wear gr***s skirts but hell we even build cars and drag race.
     
  16. Tip: If you're going to resurrect a 2 year old thread, make sure you're correct!
     
  17. Is the rail the original US built car run by Bob Sullivan, or a clone?
