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

That Thames is in the '66 documentary "The 7 Second Love Affair". They have a great shot of it being pushed to the line by it's crew, which includes a chick wearing a dress, high heels and a bitchin' beehive hairdo! Not "Jungle Pam" style...just your everyday '60s girl helping out out the track (like my Mom used to). Pretty cool.

 

Does anyone sell the film, "7 Second Love Affair."?

 

Someone please point me in the direction of the sprint car thread!!!

 

More from my dads collection. All from the UK in the 70's.
This first one is the Buick powered rail he used to crew on.

 

Drag racing is great no matter where it takes place!

 

This has got to be one of the weirdest front end set ups ever.LOL

It looks like the backwards scoop changed the expected torque curve.

 

It's a backwards wheelie!!!
