In 1959 at 15 years old I was the flagman for DAHIO drag strip just west of Dayton, Ohio. I was wondering if anyone would happen to have any pictures from that season. At that time NHRA member clubs helped at the drag strip and our club, VIKING CUSTOMS, was ***igned to the starting line. We ran on Sundays and the third week the flagman didn't show so the strip manager asked for a volunteer. Nobody wanted the job so I said why not and flagged for the rest of the season. I'd sure appreciate a picture if anyone has one.

Welcome......There have been a number of pics shared here that do in fact have Flagmen in them...we've had a Good week with connecting dots...We'll see what the Team digs up... Okay @ntfday time to share your pics from back in the day...any Hotrods in your collection...
Here's a start, click on this link below...it's a Thread by one of The Hambs Veteran Hotrod Artists, @Jeff Norwell on Flagmen... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/help-i-need-pics-of-flagmen.164524/ I suspect since you've been here so many years on the Hamb you have searched the numerous drag related Threads and if not I feel you stand a better chance to find an image with yourself flagging as flagman are actually part of but not the main focus here... Heres a few I found...
