These are pics of pics I took a few weeks ago. Both cars belonged to a family friend. He built the roadster in the early 60s as a drag/street racer and then built the Fiat as a drag car in the mid 60s i'm guessing. Both were run at Pittsburgh International Dragway which is where these pics appear to have been taken.
I don't know much about them except that the Fiat was turning mid 10s with a sbc. I spent a lot of time in his garage as a kid back in the 60s since he and my dad were good friends. He was also the 'The guy to beat' on the street back then with his sbc powered 36 Ford coupe which he still has.
He is now in his early 80s but still very active with hot rods. I need to go see him someday.
