Hi guys, I recently purchased this dragster from someone in Australia, and would really like to track down the original owner to find out the history of the FED. I believe the original owners name is Richard Rose and he is from Madison, Ohio. I found the attached pictures on the internet of the FED at the 2009 G***er Reunion at Thompson Raceway park. It is running a 283 Chev, shorty powerglide, and 9inch combo on methanol. These are all the details I have, so if anyone knows Richard or the FED in the picture, I would be very appreciative of any information you may have?
I remember seeing that car. (That is my yellow '33 Willys coupe in the background of the second picture.) All I can tell you is that Madison is just north of Thompson, if that helps narrow your search. Good luck.
Thanks guys any info would be great. I was lead to believe it was originally built and raced in the late 50's, early 60's but i'm ***uming it's had a ch***is update at some stage. Would be great to track down some pics from back in the day!
