Looking for a picture of a dragster tommy ivo driver with finned magnesium rear wheels saw it on the hamb maybe black and white . Thanks

 

Oh.....Mutley.....the Bat Phone is flashing! Someone needs your help. Check with Mutley and the "Drag Cars In Motion" thread.

 

any pics

 

I sent Manzooma a p.m. to see if he could help you. Mutley or him are your best chance.

 

Are you sure they were rears? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=694588&highlight=ivo+wheels

 

This??????????

 

Geez, is there anything you don't have pictures of?

Just a thought, were those regular wheels of the time, but reversed?

 

^^^That's probably what he meant. If he's lookin', I saw a pair here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Bea...Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc8c9cc97&vxp=mtr

 

I think they were made by a company called Safety Racing.

 

Mazooma1 to the rescue, he's kind of like Tarzan without the loincloth.

 

Thanks Mazooma1 just picked up a pair for my vintage fed i have only ever seen them on that car. thanks again and they are safety rims.

 

what year for that car

 

Glad we don't have pictures of that!

 

Speedway Motors has owned all all the tooling for the Safety Racing wheels for over 25 years...but I don't think Speedy Bill has any plans for manufacturing them.

 

IIRC, those were Exhibition Engineering wheels. They were on Seatons Shaker at some point as well, couple other cars I cant think of right now...

 

they are just like the safety racing wheels out of detroit.

 

Maybe he's just looking for a Chinaman to make them for him...

 

I did a search on google and can not find anything on a Exibition engineering wheel co. I have never seen or heard oh this? Does anyone have info or pics of there wheels?

 

I think they were actually sprint car wheels or that was the original intent then the diragster guys started using them.

 

Well that and getting them past DOT can be a bear.

 

the dragster can bee seen makeing some passes in the movie. "It's a bikini world ". filmed at Lion's Drag Strip
very nice filming you can really look the car over it is from 1964 "it's a bikini world" another moment of higher learning from my youth there is abubble top dragster white in color the guy is pushed up in and then gets in the ivo dragster,

 

I've seen that movie before it's prety good. Love all the drag racein.

 

The cars in Mazooma's photo are from '68-69, judging from their wheelbase. Cars were short in '64.
