Pretty cool that someone dug all this stuff up. My dad is mentioned about 2/3 of the way down from Pomona. http://wdifl.com/LATimes.html troy cagle
Pretty cool articles. I enjoyed the read. But of course your Dad got "mentioned". He was a household word in drag racing circles. I can't remember anyone else who ran a modified roadster that could run for top eliminator.
Bill, Ed Taylor's blown Olds AA/ Fuel comp roadster regularly ran for TE at Pomona. I watched driver Merek Certkow clean house on all comers one Sunday afternoon. Ed's roadster was very special, a full on show car that backed up it's looks.
