Eastern Drag News..one of the best drag rags

Going to Milton,Vt.was always a good time and nice drive.Some beers,some doobs,some Vt. countyside.A pleasant trip indeed.

 

Capitol Dragstrip.
This match race went way past midnite.

 

Bummed that I never made it to Connecticut Dragway.
BX10 and Eliminators=flashback.

 

The main reason I ran this page is the top 20 East coast fuelers.Most if not all I remember from reading EDN back then.Notice how many Chevys were running well.That lasted till tires got better.

 

More GeeTO action from Atco.Jim Wagners really scored with this promo.Royal Bobcat.Back then those words could give you a husky.
Cars ran low to mid 13's.
Good shot of Steve Bovan smoking the slicks.

 

Niagara Dragstrip
Who doesn't like Jim Oddy

 

Dragways Inc./Numidia
Sumerduck dragstrip

Not so much fun for the "Canadian" fueler who took an expensive bath.

SGF ran Sat nites and Sundays in the summer.Great way to spend the weekend.

 

Joe Vanni's column had him rubbing shoulders with the sports car guys at Lime Rock and at South Glens Falls.
Nice cars for sale.

 

OK,who remembers the F/S Barracuda from the Golden Commandos called "The Goldfish"? I don't.

The pictures are great! The articles are even better, but I really love the old adds. Keep'em coming Bucksnort. great job.

 

Thank you,fiat g***er.
Taking me some time to get through them all but it is an enjoyable task.Lots of good memories in those pages.

 

OK,I pretty much exhausted my supply of EDN.Still got a few I am searching for.
I do have a couple of issues sent to me by Rich Venza for our viewing pleasure.I have not viewed them so we will do it together.
Thanks Rich.And he is not at the address on the cover so no stalking.

Excellent shot.

 

75-80 Dragway.
Bob Luck ran an altered along with his D/S 57 Chevy.
Huntzberry is familiar.
Great handicap spot of 90 feet to the Anglia.Thats the way it was done before the xmas tree.

 

Hmmm,The Oct 25,63 post seemed familiar so I checked and I had already posted this issue.Starts at post 228 up through 240 or so.
So,I will turn my attention to Richs' other issue he sent.
Stay tuned.

Loved the AA/Stockers.Nice Fiat

 

Cool to check out the record list.
Went a little bigger on the resize to help read it.

 

Joe Vanni's column

 

Dragway 42,Salem,Ohio
First Nascar champ meet.Look how many rails were there.
51 fuelers-damn.
Englishtown last week had short fields in both T/F and F/C at 15 each.Apples to oranges,I know.Just reaffirms that 50's-60's were the best era.

 

Page 2 of NASCAR meet at Salem.
Who didn't like Jack Ditmars' wheelie machine?
Fast Eddie,Tasca,Starvin Marvin,Snake lots of good racers there.
