You, sir, have a keen eye...

And I just found a box of those NR stickers in the garage.....

 

Sigh, I sure miss the NR site. But I still have the T-shirt and a couple of worn-out stickers. Mike

 

I am confident that having one adorning my lone "Sunday go to meeting shirt" will get me a good table at any of the finer eating spots here in the 'hood; Pachang's, Oinkster, Casa Bianco, Taix...et al.

 

damn that 30 sedan is TITS..

 

now where were we ?

 

a few more





Does any one know the story behind this red car ?




This gentlmans day went from good to bad in about 9 seconds

 

I dont remember where I got these, but they are pretty neat shots.





put this back where it belongs

 

The '34 coupe with "Jay's Automotive Service" was Jay Cheatham from Sunnyvale, CA. who later built a Cad-powered dragster, initially injected, but later with a front-mounted 6-71. Sadly he was killed in the car at the initial '59 Smoker's meet at Bakersfield.

Those shots in Doug Cook's garage are incredible! WOW! Thanks for posting those.

 

I see all and know all! This is a daily stop for me...gotta get my fix!

 

Awesome garage shots of those Willys..

Thank you for sharing...

Very cool...

 

Cole, what does a guy need to do to procure two of those decals? (one for the Altered, one for the Tow Car).....

 

Me too...though I haven't worn my NR shirt since 2001...

I also miss Jim Sorenson's "Funny Car Years" site.

 

I was there the day Les was killed and I have black & white pictures of before and after. Was a very sad day

 

It looks like a Kellison Jamaica...beyond that I'm clueless. Must have been a heck of a ride, though.

 

Skywolf had posted a shot of this a while ago -

 

Since Skywolf is doing the "Hawaiian" thing, you all should check this out.

The Mustang Mach I in the picture, is it Shirl Greer`s?
A friend of mine has an older ex. Shirl Greer Funny, it would have been cool to see some pictures of it ?
Here is how it looked like when raced in Norway in 1979.

A couple of famous names on the side of this one. Larry Meyer went on to become a well known T/f crew chief and married Ed Cluff's daughter. Cluff was the go to guy for billet rocker arms for late hemi fuel motors. I watched him carve them out of a solid block of steel back in the late 80's when we visited their shop in Irving, Tx.
