hi, anyone have any pics. of a 1975 monza that ran c/altered #1235 in ohio called GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE, would like to know as much history as possible, EMAIL@ DWAYNEGERHARD@YAHOO.COM. THANKS!!!
Used to race with a guy who had a big block '67 Biscayne wagon he called "Dragin' Wagin'" and it had a picture of a cartoon dragon with goggles on, his tounge hanging out, and his tail "waggin'".
In the sixties there was a Chev powered Prefect C altered out of Toronto called Percy the Perfect Prefect. The owner built a Fiat later on which he called Percy Also. He was a little weird.
I remember a brown '69 six pack Superbee called "Plain Brown Wrapper" and a Purple HEMI Duster called "Statutury G****"
I always liked "The Green Weenie" Corvette! Story I remember was that somebody said the 'Vette was an, er, extension of his manhood ( that old cliche'), the car was green so.... Lifted from my "Great Oregon Racers" thread- Originally Posted by Gary Reynolds Of course! Yes, Eyerly! A winning car. Do you remember The Green Weenie Corvette roadster? My memory is so-so! It's hard to believe it was over 40 years ago! Many HAAMBer's weren't even born! Gary, The guy that owned "The Green Weenie" was Rick Miller, He was a few grades ahead of me at McMinnville High School. In about 1965 he crashed a 57 Vette outside of town. It left him paralyzed. He bought the Stingray and teamed up with the Bachmier Bros. (not sure of the spelling) after their Corvette, "The Sour G****" burned.
A couple I always liked. Friend in H.S. his dad ran a 67 or 68 camaro with a big mopar in it tha was named Strange Brew. My aunts brother was George Sharp all his cars were always named Sharp Shooter.
St. Gen Dragstrip, 70s. Screamin 6 cyl 4 dr Anglia named"Pappy's Six", 56 chev named "Bits+Pieces" And 55 chevy raced all over "Raging Bull"
A couple from around here that I don't recall seeing on this thread yet.. Haulin' Henry - Factory 427 '67 Fairlane Old Trapper - Several record holding late '60s/early '70s MoPars Mr. Magoo - A series of Novas and Chevelles belonging to a friend of mine Brer Fox - Mid '60s MoPar Elephant Hunter - Hemi powered Scout now owned by H.A.M.B.er Sa**on (loved watching that little truck tear down the track)! Lil' S****per - Impressively quick early '60s Falcon six Little Boh Creep (my favourite) - fibregl*** '53 F100 altered (too cool)! and one that belongs to fellow H.A.M.B.er Jay.S's street g***er Chevy II: Stage Fright -Dave
no pics but a couple of good ones I remember from Windsor Dragway (Ontario Canada) back in the day: Candy red Corvette called "Brandy's Mink" Guess poor Brandy never got that fur coat and "Jack in the Green Stock" who still races BTW, although it's a clone of the original car
I built a 69 Bronco Sand Dragger several years back, call it PATSY'S NITEMARE, my wife still comments on that....Ted
one of my favorites,..sharp looking dragster too,..its a shame he died in it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/57343654@N03/5480955302/
A couple of fairly well known western Canadian cars, run by the Rutherford brothers, Steve, Dave & Gord Buckshy Falcon Originally raced by Dave with a SBF/Toploader, car was parked for several seasons after the Pinto was introduced, then came back with youngest brother Gord as driver, this time with 429 PI BBF/C6. Gord still has the car, now running 545 BBF/C6 Buckshy Pinto Ch***is/drivetrain by Steve,driven by Dave,car had a number of combos, longest running combo being stroked 351C, originally w/toploader, later w/ Doug Nash torsion tube 5 speed. Sadly, car was badly damaged in a finishline crash in Calgary, after the previous pair of R.E.D.'s down the track oiled the lane. Car was retired (they still have it), and Dave replaced the Pinto with an o/t Fairmont
I had an A/Altered in the 60's called "Pure Purgatory" A dragster in the 80's called "No Couth" But my all time favorite was the old fuel dragster called "JADE GRENADE"
My wife has named the 39 Olds coupe g***er wannabe that we're building- "NEVER TOO OLDs". Maybe 'cause it's taking me so long to build.
Right now I am building a Sling shot Front engine dragster with a 1500Hp Japanese motor...WHY? because I can. Anyway, I named it "The Kamakaze"
Hi that was my dads car. My dad just recently p***ed and a friend of his asked me if I knew who bought his car. I did a search found your post.
