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

The stands and the Monster were both bad picnics for sure.
Maybe this is a little O/T here but in light of the pics and story does anyone know if Roses' Green Mamba was ever repaired after the theft?
No Big Thing is definitely one of my alltime favorite cars.

 

here's some more.

 

Bad ass! What exact magazine was the Jardine Vette centerfold from? Are you related to that Jardine?

 

Anymore pictures of the Jardine Vette...I am with you Groucho that car is a monster!!

 

I'd like to see this thing make a pass

 

I'll look for some more pictures of that car. The Mars Brothers ran that car. They also Had a 55 chevy same color.

 

Holy fuuuuuuuuuuudge!!!!

 

Awesome thread!!!!!!

 

That would require large testicles.

 

Gene Beaver's LA Hooker & Chris Lane's Phoenix came to Australia for the summer of 77/78. At this meet Dale Pulde drove the LA Hooker. Sorry about the quality of the pic's, crap camera, crap photographer, crap lighting.

 

Some more Aussie Funny Cars.
Graeme Cowin



Bob Dunn's ex Gene Snow

Stirling & Patterson

 

you took the words out of my mouth. The Jardine BB/GS Vette AKA The Maars Boys was a real competetive car in the class and regularly found itself in the final round while competing in the local So-Cal BB/GS heads up circuit. Car was powered by a blown 396 Chevy for BB/GS and a 331" Chrysler for CC/GS class. Phil Lukens of Blair Speed Shop drove it

 

Here's the newest development in the kinky world of Brian Fox...

A CHERRY, low mileage Rivi tow/push car baby!!!

Some of the greats............

 

Ontario.....nothing like the good ol' days.

 

Dave Bowman's Vega Panel F/C.

 

"Custom"...any more photos of that Vega?

 

Should have mentioned that it was a rear hemi-engine car. If I'm not mistaken it was the only other car besides Dunn's that ever got close to winning. I think it ended up being a sand drag car or something like that.

 

I think you're right about the sand dragster thing. NHRA outlawed the rear motored funnies about that time. Jim Dunn's car was always one of my fav's.

 

Here's another shot...

 

No, the only other pic I have is of Bowman's altered that he ran prior to moving to F/C.

 

i read something about dunn's car qualified at one race as both a funny car and a dragster.....gotta love that stuff....back when you could try all kinds of different stuff ....brandon

 

Two of my all-time favorites....Jungle Jim L. and the Grump

 

From the backyard to a museum piece...the Dart 2.

 

WOW! That's just eerie
