Old Drag Car Pictures.........

-----I watched E.J. run at Epping back in about 68 or 69. He was certifiable. He launched just as the story above said and ran all the way thru the back door with the front wheel a foot off the ground and the back wheel spinning. He made two runs that day and we went down to the finish for the second run. I thought it was cool seeing it from the starting line but his run was unbelieveable when watching him come at you!!!.........Bill S

Found this over on the HAMB. The perfect '50 Austin gasser. So sanitary.

I have a shoe box full of photos that Tim Bishop and cousin David Bishop took at the tracks throughout the 1960s. Thousands of color photos here and I just don't have the time to fool with them and log them in. I could of if I was retired but not yet.

If anyone would like to take on this scanning project and work with me I would be glad to do it. FYI, David Bishop is the official NHRA photographer for Division One. Both Bishops are world class people. Timmy tells me that he has more photos in his hog house at the farm. That's a drag racer for you!

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.
