Here is the Melrose Missile in its 2% altered wheelbase form at the AHRA Winternationals at Beeline Dragway in January 1965. That was the only time the four cars built were used with only 2% AWB. After the Winternationals they were all changed more radically.

Here's what's left of our local strips.

And the saddest of the three; an Historic track where the Golden Greek first broke the 200 MPH barrier, Alton Dragway is now a mobil home park. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

I was looking through my junk (memorabilia) looking for my Senior High School (Chaparral, Scottsdale Arizona) Shop Class field trip pictures to the Winternationals at the Beeline. It was 1978 and I have some great pictures if I can find them I will be scanning and posting them.

I also have some pictures from the WInternational Drag Boat races at Firebird Lake in 1979. Those are pretty cool also.

I know this is a Dragstrip posting but what about Ascot racetrack in Torrance, another of my favorites.

Hope this post finds everyone well.

Happy Summer.

OK, So I did find some old OCIR Pit Passes and Participant Sticker as well as an Old Lions Pit Permit Drag Strip ticket that I ferretted away years ago.

Here are a few pics I found of the '78? Winternationals at Beeline. I apologize for the pictures, at 17 I had no photography skills.

Hey Dave....Ascot was in Gardena...if I remember right. We were there at least once a month! Stocks, super stocks, figure eights, midgets, sprint cars and world of outlaws...WAY COOL!

Okay, so here is a picture (that was made into a puzzle by my older sister) of yours truly (with his future wife standing behind him) and my sister (with her soon to be ex boyfriend standing in front of her).

Notice the shirt I am wearing! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

No cute remarks...LOL! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif
