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

What year is this pic? In 1970, the tower at Fremont was on the right side.

 

I would say 62-64.....?

 

here's the Mondello and Matusbara Fiat at this years GNRS (Next to my Blair's Anglia)

 

Correct, this photo is from 63-65 but I don't remember exactly.

 

No one is better on the Lens than Dave Milcarek

 

Al (NITROFC) ... what's the whole story behind this photo of a stuntman being dragged behind an FC? ...



!!!!!

 

Considering the image filename is "Fremont64.jpg" ... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was taken in 1964

 

This is a Video of Australian stuntman Jim Bailey, known as ”The Human Torpedo,” he rode behind FC on a metal plate as thrill show. Jim did lose his life in April 1991 as he fell 500 feet to his death from an airplane while making a film for television Wednesday, authorities said.

Initially, authorities said Baily was performing for ABC-TV’s ”That’s Incredible,” but the show’s producer denied having any connection with the accident.

Witnesses, including members of the Maui Fire Department and the rescue unit, said Bailey, a resident of Brisbane, Australia, was suspended underneath a single-engine Ballanca by a strap and belt when the belt broke. He hung onto the strap for a few seconds before falling.’

What a shame so many HAMB members can't at least list the photographers name for photo credit.It's bad enough many people are just printing and p***ing their photos around,take time and list photo credits.COPYRIGHT IMAGE LAW.
