• Straight Line Saturday......err Friday! *PIC*
  • Love the Corvair! Kind of an ahead of its time grille-less look of the Teslas nowdays. ;^) *NM* *PIC*
    • well, They were air cooled! *NM*
  • Where was that last picture taken, and when? *NM*
    • I can't really say, but for whatever reason, The "Dirty D" Detroit Dragway comes to mind, but that's only a guess. They ran 4 wide there on occasion. *NM*
      • Interesting! I thought the 4 wide was a new thing. *NM*

    • Vintage 4 wide Drag racing...... *PIC*
      • Well, I learned something new today.... I had never heard or seen 4 lane drag racing... *NM*

        • Altereds, and even gassers, could have full fiberglass bodies by then. Both of George Montgomery's Mustang gassers had 'glass bodies *NM*
    • You should give it a try Frank. *NM*
  • The Austin pickup would make an ambitious project with the Revell Austin and Willys Pickup kits *NM*
    • Indeed! The Austin is the only one of those Revell drag cars from that era that I never had......
      • The Austin is the worst of the three (Henry J and Willys pickup being the other two...
        • Sounds like wonky craftsmanship just like I perform! *NM*
  • Great memories! *NM*
