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

Storm King, thanks. Also, I got an e-mail from Eileen Daniels, Bob's widow, who said the story is true and the photo is from the right time period.

 

Now that's just icing on the cake. Looks like the 'Goose with his fingers in his ears; anyone know for sure?

 

[/IMG]Hello Socalmerc, My dad and I have been searching for the Corvette in the picture for a couple of years. The last time he saw it was when he sold it to Louie. My dad was told by Bob Wideline that he saw it circa '81 bracket racing in Canada. That car was built entirely by hand in a sprint car shop in So. LA. Thanks, your post is the latest lead this year.[/IMG]

 

welcome aboard.....thats a pretty interesting setup ...was the chassis built for drag racing or was it adapted from the sprint car scene...has the look of those east coast mods......really diggin' the spindle mount no windows up front. brandon

 

Any pic's of the Goodie's Speed Shop Anglia on a run, out there?

 

A co-worker brought in an old magazine the other day and I knew I had to scan the pictures and post them here.

Not sure if this photo has been on the thread but being an avid Hot Wheels collector Tom McEwen has always been a favorite of mine.
