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

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.

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!
