Good point...I assumed folk knew who was who...bad on me:

L-R
Mike Burkhart, Dickie Harrell (holding forth on how to keep a BBC alive on nitro; he was one of the last to continue to run one, only switching to a Hemi in '71), and Jungle Jim (and if you don't know who Jungle Jim is, you need to do your own research!).

 

MORE,MORE,MORE Please !!!

Eddie Hill & Fuzzy Carter : Regarding the pict of Eddie & Fuzzy, some may not know, but Fuzzary Carter lost a battle with cancer back in 2000. Eddie Hill by far one of my favorite TF teams with the "Nuclear Bannana" and first in the 4's. Full article: http://www.bigspringmuseum.com/newletters/summer2009.pdf

Drag racing north of the border, this anglia was from Regina ,Saskatchewan.

 

This thread is awesome, keep em comin' I could look at these forever!

 

This one of Cha Cha looks like it was taken at Lebanon Valley where she raced in her early years. You have any of her front engined fuel injected dragster from her early years?

 

Well at first it cheered me up a little bit to see some pics of Bob Glidden, but you sure topped that with the shots of Bunny Burkett!

I mean, a blonde in a kind of frilly looking white top, wearing a pair of Nomex pants and some pink heels! What's not to like??!! Sort of makes a feller fergit all about ol' Bob What's-is-name.

 

I remember Darrell Gwynn when he used to ride his tricycle around the driveway when his dad Jerry ran the B/G Anglia and later was World Champion with his altered. Search the net & check out the clocks he makes out of old top fuel aluminum rods, they are really cool
