Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
 

Here´s a cool pic I found in a Start & Speed Magazine from the summer of 1970. Dale Price from the US troops in West Germany is running his "The Bounty Hunter" Olds 442 post-car against Peter Harmon from the Royal Air Force. Peter on his Velocette 500 cc dragbike won the race. I really like that Olds!

Here´s another post-car, a 389 GTO. Pic was taken in Sweden.

Hey, that looks like Brad Andersons Dart Sport BB/FC('75?) sideways during the burnout. Geez, didn't even make it past the line. Any later pictures of this? Looks like the guy running is going to get cut off below the knees.

looks like that car was getting ready to mow down the starters ... and the pole ... and ... &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lush.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; sure hope those two in red were not hurt badly ... and survived </div></div>

Love the pics but that middle one is waving at me saying it's obviously been crafted from the shots above and below it?.

The Mimi Camaro was out of Syracuse New York. The original owner of my 68 Z28 owned the BMS speed shop and ran one of the cars before they went to Pro Stock. Warren Baum was BMS on the car and ordered the Camaro I now own.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
 

I believe BMS also ran a '68 Yenko Camaro race car,

Yes - that was an actual combination but I didn't have any period photos of the two '64s hooked together ('64 Lemans 421 tow car; '64 GTO 389 race car). A friend of mine put that together for me at my request.

I still have the old tow bar and chains, which allows me to do this:
