J R Bloom's straight 8 Buick powered Crosley in 1958. Notice 9 header pipes to freak out the other racers. Ran over 100 MPH. J.R. has Arizona racing pictures going back to the early 50's.He was AHRA's official photographer and is Member #6 in the Arizona Drag Race Hall of Fame. This is a Great guy to talk to about Arizona racing. John
