    That picture I believe is in the Hot Rod before Gray passed or the one with his picture on it as a tribute. They said it used to hang on his wall as one of his favorite photo's. It's the magic muffler special I think. Way bitchin photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There's a great night picture of another Fiat -- Mondello/Matsubara, I think -- leaving like in Rashy's picture: front wheels way up, back wheels off the ground, all lit up by the flames from the headers. Wish I had the picture!

    I picked up a few videos of vintage drag footage and on one of them is Pure Hell in a barely in control take off where he actualy has all four wheels off the ground,

    the front wheels come up, he lets off for an instant and when they hit the ground he stabs it again and the whole car leaps into the air!

    -like your first picture of Nanook-

    man what a ride that must be!

    Her's another great old blowup pic that the late Les Lovett caught at the 69 NHRA World Finals.
    This time it was Ron Mancini's Dodge tranny explosion.
