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

yes I heard that too.....Also said it was like driving something with space shuttle engine power and " Fred Flintstone" steering

 

It was a prop for entertainment, in real life. The suit had an extra arm sewn on, while he kept his left hand low on the steering wheel. True Story

 

That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard....flies in the face of many personal accounts!!!

 

The 'sewn on arm' was on the funny car,not the altered. Dennis Doubleday

 

I heard there wasn't really four beatles, one was a poster they moved around a lot.

 

I love checking in here from time to time.

 

Im trying to figure out which car this wouldve been.... hmmm ???

 

X2....the conversation at the moment centers around the altered, so people are naturally going to think that the "arm gag" was on the altered, which it was not.
So, in the interest of being factual, that comment without clarification is just not true, as the conversation was about the altered

 

A few I just found on a blog.

 

Always been a big "Golden Angel" Anglia fan and happy to see the new tribute version of Ed Payne's legendary A/Gasser.

 

here are some more. I am not up on blogs and have no idea what they are. Here is a link to it if interested.

 

God those rail chassied funny cars were ugly!

 

We will have to agree to disagree, I think they are "ultra" cool!

this thread has taken a real weird turn.....women, deer, dragsters with skies on the front....

 

Now these speak to me!!! Parts scattered around, toolbox on the floor at the ready, the floor dry, all of it. Awesome!

 

Oh yeah, check the size of the chute packs. Too cool.

 

There is nothing weird about it, O.K. the deer, but they are in a straight line. Everything is drag related including Linda and Pam, both icons in the sport, sorry I will stop posting anything else at this point.

 

don't get in a huff, I was just trying to figure out what the deer and the skis on a dragster thing was all about. I guess that dragster is a snow racing thing. I don't know..never seen anything like it before...you posted some great photos, don't stop if you have more just because I stated the obvious about the rail and the deer...

 

x2.

I'll see if I can scare up some more pics.
