Walt Derringer originally had the Joe Brown Ford T-Bolt and traded it to the Hawes Bros. for their Hi-Riser Galaxie. He continued to race the Hi-Riser Galaxie for several years.

 

Question: Do you know which drag strips these pictures you posted are from. Just wondering.
Thanks Jimbo

 

Champion Speed Shop Spl.- Gotelli racing Ed Cortapassi in The Glass Slipper at Vacaville (1959).

Thanks for the picture, reminded me when I saw it run in Corpus Christi texas when I was a kid. Thought it was the coolest car I had ever seen.

 

Fuller had "toy windup keys" too.

 

Long before Antron Brown, Malcolm Durham was the first African American star on the drag racing scene.
