fire in the hole!
anybody like jet dragsters? the kids & non-gearheads seemed 2 love em. they made lots of fire & noise but after we'd seen our 1st one, we hated 2 have 1 at our race. they took up a lot of time & the track paid them a lot of money they could have used 2 sweeten the pot for the regular track racers. but hey, thats just 1 opinion from a racers point of view.

Circa 1976? That's Gary Beck's car, and the guy in the background, in the yellow shirt, looks like Beck.

I believe that's Mark Oswald's dragster, and it looks like Shirley Muldowney is taking a break on the back of the pickup.

http://www.nhra.com/blog/dragster-in...7/12/19/26012/ Great history, and I did not recall/realize that it was not so long ago that the "tree" was 1st introduced...And that the "shortened tree" was introduced in 1986. Great shot of Pinto Pro-stocker clipping a tree in the 70s... Thanks! |

Check out that temporary power line running overhead to the truck/tower! Great photo. Good eye on the 5 amber tree too.

How about this one? I guess fans of the 409 weren't too fond of the newer "rat" motors!

What I also like about your posted image is the altered wheelbase, and especially the wheel / tire combo used then that current "restored" vehicles do not have...such as the reverse chromes mixed w the S/S wheels on the altered '55. Seemingly the past few years have ALL retro builds sporting Torque Thrusts... Blue Rat... |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
