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

Jim:

Whats up with the stock Fuel pump and the tank set up

 

guessing a primer for the injection....

diggin' those late 60's funny car shots....post em up.

 

Back then some guys used the stock fuel pump to pump water through the block. Bruce Larson has the same deal on his restored Camaro.

 

whats the story on the raunchy vette....that thing is too cool....

 

Hi Mike:
Thanks. It makes sense by the way its plumbed.

I had an old F/gas mustang that the guy had plumbed in a Coleman RV waterpump complete with Garden Hose connections to circulate the coolant... Hey you worked with what you had back then . Nothing like today were you can buy about anything you want.

Thank you

 

Ya know, stuff may have been homemade and somewhat crude but it sure was a lot more interesting back then. "Ingenuity In Action" used to mean something... Mike

 

That last group of funnycar's was awsome! I'd rather watch those cars today than anything currently running.

 

Talk about some wild paint jobs back then! Where's the creativity now? Slapping vinyl on instead?

Here is an oldie from the 60's. Hurst Hairy Oldsmobile at Minnesota Dragways. It put on quite a show. I wonder what ever happened to it??

 

I hate vinyl graphics. My Super stock (class) type car will likely take a month just to paint all the stripes and overlays, but I will airbrush the lettering.

 

Sorry about the picture... here is another one

 

heres a couple i had in cmputer.

 

You folks that are interested in seeing some of the old style funny cars might want to make your way to Marion County Raceway in Ohio on August 15, 2009. That's the date for the second Funny Car Nationals featuring the cars from the Great Lakes Nostalgia Funny Car Circuit.
Here's a link to the circuit's web page that includes the 2009 schedule.

Cheetah!

 

Us in 1996, We ran the first 5 second run in a front engine AA/FD in Morocco Indiana and the California boys didn't believe it, so we went to Sacramento and shoved a 5.96 down there throat in the final round.

 

Love those unpredictable English gassers - the scans suck but you'll get the idea

 

Cool! Number one in the Nitronic Research 5 Second Club!
