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

All that ballast strapped/taped to the front axle, and still on the back bumper! And I love the name

 

Always liked Paul Blevins' cars. Looked good, ran hard.

 

Here's Big Daddy at the Texas Motorplex in 1987

 

Keith. Any pictures of the Mcgee enginered dragster driven by I think Jonathan Lovett or something like that.

 

This would have to be the most veiwed post on the HAMB for sure

 

Rick Picard is from Woonsocket, RI. He bought the old Mondello Matsubara AA/FA in 1970, he raced it back east for a couple of years, then sold it. The car was sitting in Rhode Island for thirty five years, until Pete Eastwood and Karpo Murkijanian bought it. The car is back in California, and beautifully restored to original condition.

 

Thanks Church Key! It's nice to know who and where the car came from. I thought it looked like the Mondello car and now you've confirmed it. There were quite a few racers out of Rhode Island that visited the Dragway. Wasn't Frank Federici from RI too??

 

Ahhh so you guys own the tree. Attending the slide show next week?

 

Looks like the one that brought a million two fifty at Barret-Jagoff a couple years ago

 

A dear friend and a HAMBer owns the most badass 3 window drag coupe in my opinion, the one pictured and soon to be restored. Hopefully I can get a reaction from him to tell you more. I had the honor of recently sitting in it.

 

Yup. In my opinion I felt the car should've been restored to 'as raced' condition, but what do I know. I wonder if it still woulda sold for over a mill.

 

This car is the good-guys book.

Nastiest coupe ever.
