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 passing their photos around,take time and list photo credits.COPYRIGHT IMAGE LAW.
