Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
This is my factory 327 Chevy II the first summer in Sweden. That´s the paint it had when it was shipped from the U.S.A in 1975. There was a 427 under the hood at this time.

Here's a good Champion spark plug ad photo after Strickler won the world championship title. The Strickler Jenkins team got all kinds of ink after that big win.

Here's the man himself, Ben Wenzel, B/Stock. Same class as many of the L78 big block cars. This car was one of the badest Z28 Camaros in the land and is still bad to the bone!

Old Reliable Stickler SS/F Z28 Camaro, Sept 1968 just after winning the Super Stock All Star Meet. I followed this car in high school and it dominated the ranks of Super Stock in 1968. The Jenkins-Strickler team was loved by all Chevy enthusiasts.

Hi guys
Here are two links to many old photos . you may have seen this link before . photos by Bill Floyd , have seen his photos on a few drag racing web sites. http://dragnut.smugmug.com/gallery/4257101_8N7LQ#P-1-12 http://public.fotki.com/mastermodeler/11...redman-floyd-c/ Many photos , one sample http://public.fotki.com/mastermodeler/11...oyd-c/599a.html Al https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif |

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Ha ! I visited a guy in Linköping (close to Mantorp Park Raceway) the other day to buy his dragracing-photos from the seventies. I hoped to mabye find a pic of the "Convincer II" among them, but instead I found this one of my 327 Chevy II. This one should be from 1976 or possibly 1977.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
If you look in the second set of pictures,on pg8/photo80, there is a pic of what apperes to be the old Alt & James corvette.Behind it you will see a black 68 Z28. A friend bought this car new in Dayton,Oh. Was the first black Z i had seen.He had put the cross ram carbs on it as well.That is where i got the idea for my black cross ram 69 Z28.I keep looking at these old pictures hopping to see some pics of my old cars.Thanks again Bill for the great photos. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Sherm

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Just saw this camaro on the first link and was wondering if it might be a possible copo car.
|
Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Probably was. Super Stock/D was a very popular class for these cars back in 1969 and 1970. The 10.80 on the window should be the national record at the time. All Stock and Super Stock cars ran off the national record in the eliminator.

My dad's 69. I think this was taken at the original "Swamp", SLRP, just before it became a 1/4 mile track. It also ran at Alton and other central/southern IL tracks. |

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Thanks Ken.
Are the photos that you posted from Delmar yours? During the 1969 season I was still in the Army and stationed at Ft. Riley, KS so I didn't make it to Delmar. The previous two years spent in Ethiopia so I really missed some good racing and never got to see some of the cars. I was able to meet up with the Hampp's at Indy in '69 for my first national event.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Tom,
Timmy sent them to me in a shoe box about two years ago for some reason or another. I can't remember why, maybe a Strickler connection. You should hook up with him and ask to scan and post all of the other thousands that he has. For those on this site, that '57 Chevy is still in Timmy's barn rotting away. Keeps telling me he'll bring it back from the dead but at 65 years young, the clock is ticking away. LOL. Jerry |

Ken, Did Al Pfeiffer also have a Black Anglia at one time? Maybe not Black, (Dark Blue?) but I recall seeing him run at Indy at least one year. I used to letter race cars and the lettering style on his car caught my eye. I probably have a picture of it SOMEWHERE. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif |

Al raced the 40 for a while with a Caddy Engine, then with a Hemi....he then built a 33 Willys around 65 and was very successful with it until he put a Clutchflite in it ......
