GBP Yellow Dragster History? (1 Viewer)

[The Counterfeiter]

Bob Campagna delivered the case for my Real Art Replicas 1/6 Scale
Greer/Black "Yellow" dragster. It's huge! . . . and has a lot of area for graphics about the car. I'm pretty sure that this car had one of the best records in drag racing history.
If anyone could provide a link, it would be greatly appreciated! - Jim

No on-line info that I know of, but Hal Higdon's biography on Prudhomme, "Six Seconds To Glory" (G. Putnam's Sons, circa 1975) has a bit of the history of the car, as well as the early days of Snake up to the yellow CareFree gum Hot Wheels Cuda... Worth trying to find in a classic bookstore (sorry, I'm not parting with my Snake AND Mongoose autographed first printing.. )

Don't forget Robert C. Post's book, "High Performance" (John Hopkins University Press, circa 1994) as well (required reading, in my opinion, for anyone interested in the sport).. Great sections on Tommy Greer..

Thanks Martin! I'll start searching tomorrow.

Bingo! The car was (and may still be) at the NHRA Museum! NHRA.com provides direct lines for Museum personnel. Should be a fun conversation! -
