I bought this almost ten years ago at the NHRA museum, and remember even seeing them in Hot Rod magazine at the time, but recently found it in the garage and havent been able to get any info about them. Does anyone know who made these plates? Or where I could score the others? If i recall right they made them for Irwindale, OCR, and maybe Santa Ana drag strips?
Not sure who made it and where you could get others, but they made several different designs. Look close at the pic and you'll see the Santa Ana plate hanging on the wall below the bright spot (stainless backer). When I moved to Arizona a front plate was no longer required so I started running the Santa Ana plate on the 32. After the first Route 66 Fun Run I started running Fun Run plates that you get in your bag. The folks who run Fun Run are pretty generous, they give you a nice Route 66 canvas bag - ask Denise - T-shirt, license plate and a whole bunch of other stuff. 2nd pic shows the first year Fun Run plate that I took part in. Got three so far. #365, #417 and #500 and something -gotta get there earlier....
