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

^^^^ The Marrs Boys Corvette in primer?

 

I don't know which is cooler, the digger or the tow car!

 

The Guzler of Bud Roche and Don Mattison out of Evergreen Park, IL. They were teamed up with John Kranenburg in an earlier car but he left to work with The Greek.

 

I completely agree!

 

I didn't know that!

 

Bud and Don bought one of the Dodge Chargers when the factory team was disbanded. They ran it with a fuel hemi from the dragster, but the car was wrecked in a top end crash.

 

Those cars were a wreck, looking for a place to happen !

 

Things didnt end well in Cordova!

 

There must be a story here?

 

Wait, are those ultra-rare Creitz wheels that are on that little red wagon?

 

It's a long story, but very interesting.

No, Creitz wheels were 10 spoke.

You do not know of which you speak.

I was told the 10 spoke came out with the bolt on not the spindle mount.

 

Mongoose after abrupt ending to Motion.

 

A different angle on this one.

 

Found these two on the net some place.
