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

Check out the hair do's on the chicks in the background - Groovy

 

ok here's more

 

"PANIC" has got to be one of the alltime coolest F/C names.

 

Does that mean Peace, Valvoline or Up Yer Kilt?!

 

Keep em coming Nitro FC and Honest Charley!

 

Hazen fielded one of most competetive alterds; It could not only best any other altered on any given day, but could be a threat in combo-eliminator circuit ( a late 60's, early 70's So-Cal phenomenon that included top gas rail and jr fuelers) where he would beat the more consistent rails.

 

Notice the Enderle Hat on the blue Charger is mounted backwards...

 

just got this in an e-mail, one bad ass video about Lions (except I don't speak french) http://www.ina.fr/media/entretiens/video/CPF04008049/les-dragsters.fr.html





.

 

That is probably one of the better videos ive seen posted from that era, Thanks !

 

That was a great video. Would be nice to understand the narrative but the rest was a trip back in time.

 

That was the best vid I've ever seen from the era...Stupendous shit there! Made me completely homesick for a place I've never been, and a scene I missed by decades. Those guys had no idea whatsoever how good they had it...and that's one of the things that made it great.

 

that video is KILLER! if you look hard at all the well known names you see its amazing...thurmond bros altered, Magic Muffler fiat, freight train, yeakel plymouth special, pure hell, mondello and matsubara, shore and hess, Adams and Wayre, ???? UN REAL!!





T.H.

 

I have been fortunate enough to have heard one of these. At full song. On nitro. Even a Mopar guy has to appreciate the incredible sound these created. Only a V-12 Ferrari can really be compared-and that's NOT to denigrate any other mill.

OK;full-race flatties sound titties as well.

 

I've heard Larry (Mr.427 Cammer) Gould's car rippin it a few times.(the digger not the funnies)
A few photos might be in order.A few of the digger as well.

 

Hilarious music at the end of it, too!

Also cool to see Chevoom on the trailer.

 

LOVE this odd duck ! MORE !

 

great vid Phil. wish I hadn't forgotten so much of my high school French

 

Tres bien(very good), which is pretty much all I remember from 2 years of French. It would be nice to see the english version-Jim

 

That video is awesome. Love the shoots of the "ROLLERS". Also enjoyed the sound... ha,ha most of the cars sounded the same, must have had only one sound track. Great, loved it all. Brings back a lot of Good memories of LIONS. "Drive the Highways, Race at Lions".

 

I believe it stands for "Victory".

 

Here's a later Blue Flame of Roger Keough

 

this is an awsome picture of K S Pitman cars.....the gentleman standing next to the s&s parts gasser on page 549 is my brother mike munley.....i believe this was taken in the summer of 1963...my brother mike & gene Altizer took the 33 willy's that K.S. campaigned on the nhra circuit.....i begged my mom to let me go with them ,however, she said "no 17 yr. old needs to be running around with 21 yr. old grown men! " wa-a-a-a- i cried...pat munley
