The Bruce Hertel dragster pic from Wingdale NY:

Didn't he put that engine into a blue model A coupe and call it "The Funnel Master?" I remember a pic from Hot Rod trading cards in my youth.

Norm!...I've been wondering when you would finally show up here. Welcome to the HAMB.

 

Thanks Dawn.....great video's!!

 

Not as cool as some of the pictures on this thread, but its mine!
Found this car in a garage in 2006. Found the picture a year later while thumbing thru drag photos at the Autorama. Photo was taken at the Bakersfield March Meet in 1970. Car was running in G/MP class...later ran in D/GS with an injected small block.

 

Thanks, Kentuckian! Haven't seen a photo of that place for a while.

Norm ..It's about freaking time !! ..I know you have a few from my time. Looking forward in seeing you again this year with our new car ..FF

 

yup...Kitty O'Neal

 

Thanks ..No additional applause necessary

 

I was thinking when I was looking at the photo earlier that it was kind of a strango looking flop.Kind of a "laydown" car if you will.
Was that the Hydrogen Peroxide rig that took flight? It seems like I read something about it a few months ago?

 

The year was 1977 Kitty O’Neil "Rocket Kat" rocket powered 1977 Corvette. 5000 lb. thrust Hydrogen Peroxide motor was destroyed in that crash.

 

The AL & Norman show is just getting started. This is gonna be good.
