It ain't grey hair, it's chrome!
Fabulous pics Doc! But what in the wide world of sports is that first one??? Some wildly odd combination of parts for sure....

He's rockin' the "Nuttin Special"!
I was looking at that one too! Looks like a 4 banger..

Once again, curiosity forces investigation...
I assumed that shot was from Riverside California, but it's from Melbourne Australia. It's described as a Morris Minor with a BMC (British Motor Company) B series engine.

Still crazy after all these years!
ANYBODY can tell it's a bit of a Morris Minor body. Looks like something I'd build.

It sure does.
Another round...
SHAME on Petersen Publishing for ruining their incredible photo archives with giant watermarks.

A Bantam Coupe with a straight eight. Yum Yum.

Mission BC. Notice the homes in the background. Urban development forced this track's closure and the current Mission Raceway is facing the same battle today.
Pontiac power?
Calgary AB. This would be either Lincoln or Shepard, both former WWII airfields.
"North Hill Rod Shop" is directly tied to one Dale Armstrong, as described here: https://driving.ca/chevrolet/local-content/calgary/on-the-road-remembering-dale-armstrong

Dang Doc. Great stuff. Been to Mission many times. Wonder if the cup holder on that rig has been upgraded Iron

The '32 Vicky belonged to Larry Teeter. I was helping Al Tschida during the time Larry was a top competitor. C/Gas class in the1960's was a small inch, high winding, gear slamming riot. By today's performance it was nothing, but I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.
The yellow '55 is a modern pic. The Bad Banana ran with the Southeast Gassers till he moved to Texas. He and others are organizing a Texas branch the SEGA.
I love the Model A coupe with the hemi with 6 or 8 leakers on top, set back 25%.

Fabulous pics Doc. I actually raced on the last day at the old Mission track in the 70's (1978??[S) There was a no start rule for racecars from noon to 1PM Sundays for church services nearby in the city. The track was sold and a Fibreglas Canada plant built there which had a short life... Took years for the government to make good on their deal to allow the new track just down the river a bit.

The first car, a Prefect owned by Steve Woods evolved into a 7 second gasser. He retired 4-5 years ago.
That's Ohio George Montgomery with the '33 Willys. On his way to fame and fortune.
The yellow Willys is Bing's Speed Shop and is flathead powered. One of the premier flathead builders of his time.

Great comments bob and zz. [cl
Sunday bundle of Willys...
Bad photo of Murray and Neelin at Bison. Ken Murray is a machinist and engine builder extroardinaire from Winnipeg.
Bob's friend Al Tschida (Nice photo, terrible crop job.)
Tschida again, I think?

Yes, Al Tschida's (RIP) Green Willys. Looks like sitting in line at the Nationals in Indy. Sponsored by MAS, Minnesota Auto Specialties, where Al worked. Owned by Gary Kohn, who fell down the basement steps in the Minneapolis store and died.
Al ran 292, 301 and finally 332 inch Hilborn injected small block Chevys, T-10 4 speed, usually 5.83 rear gears in a Chevy 3/4 ton full floater rear end.
I helped polish those real magnesium wheels.
