Very likely Bob. I think he's on his forth or fifth axle now! There is the story of the epic thrash to build and change the axle in the pits at Meltdown!

The Model A coupe pic, notice how small the contact patch is. Not much slick on the track and still a big wheel stand.

Right, it doesn't take a lot of horsepower to pull the front wheels. Many other factors contribute to it.

A drum of glue helps a little. [ddd

Wow! Dr C, A '55, a '56 and an early 'Vette. BTW, the 'Vette ran at the Fall Out a month ago. 2 1/2 seconds quicker than my junk.

Here's synchronized wheelies from yesteryear. (No glue in those days)

Great shot, Bob. You know I'm fascinated with '60s drag racing and slingshot dragsters especially. [ddd

The full body fuelers were works of art but I like the no nonsense look of bare pipe. I liked the excitement of real clutches, smoking slicks, moderate wheel bases, no track prep and no wheelie bars.

More great inspirational pics Doc, I also like getting a peek at the the undersides of cars as they reach for the sky, the Henry J in particular.. [cl[cl[P[P

 

[bob w]

More good pics, Doc. I think the Barracuda is in New Zealand. The Charger has the brackets but no wheelie bars and the three window has a 301 inch sbc and is a strong runner.

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

Thanks guys.

Bob, the Barracuda and several other pics I've collected are from Willowbank Raceway - City of Ipswich, Queensland Australia.

It looks like the timing tower at the track in New Zealand. I checked and of course I'm wrong.
