Eastern Drag News..one of the best drag rags

I need this particular issue if anyone may have it for sale or trade. I have quite a few doubles that I'd be willing to trade. Shoot me a PM if you can help me out.

Thanks

 

A little late on this post but here's a pic of the Hellzappopin that sold in NY last fall. It was the early short one.

 

I think I talked with you or someone at the Valley swap meet,said it would probably be sold.Did it stay local?
Thanks for the pic.

 

Shirley ran South Glens Falls alot along with Lebanon Valley.Here is a pic of one of her first runs in a dragster at South Glens Falls.

I thought sure as **** I had an article on Tex's crash and an editorial piece.Been looking and have not been able to find it.Maybe some of the other guys have something, Church Key or Troublemaker maybe.

 

Did you also notice Joe Amato winning A/A at Pocono?

 

That's a pretty early Dragmaster car with the parallel frame rails. Might be the only dragster I've ever seen with a '32 radiator shell!

 

The last owner set it up this way with the grille shell and radiator. If you do a search for Hellzapoppin on here there are some early pics of it before the mods were done. Somewhere along the way one of the roll bars was cut off. The car had lots of repairs but lots of history and original parts. There was a later version of this car with a longer Dart ch***is also. It sold cheap on E-bay,(around $5K- running car) I didn't pull the trigger because I thought it would go for much more-still regret it! An earlier post in this thread says it stayed close to home-Carmel NY, currently being restored... maybe someone here knows the new owner.

 

The Bovan car had the best looking headers of the era.

 

I meet the new owner a few weeks ago,and the restoration is well under way. Hope to have a side by side photo of it with "Alley Oop" this Fall at the Dover Reunion.

 

Joe and Tim Richards were PDL regulars for many years.

4 shots that make me glad I grew up in that era.

 

Say guy's did this paper go into the year 67 and cover the calif fuel altards when they were back there?

 

I think by then it was called Drag Times.Got a bunch of late 60's and 70's issues somewheres.I am sure they covered the fuel altereds.Match racing was the big thing on the East coast.We loved seeing the West coast guys touring here in the summers.
