Here's one I took at Bristol, Tennessee in 1993. This is "Swamp Rat" 32. It was being driven by Bruce Larson that day.

Hey I think I took that picture




I'll have to scan an old one I have of my little brother and I as kids on the starting line at Indy with Big. Either 86 or 87.

Still one of my favorites even from my novice print film days.
Here's Ronald at AHRA Gateway Nationals, St. Louis 1981. Old Gateway was a narrow, rough, and dark track, and the humidity always #@$%s there. That weekend Garlits nipped at his setup that Sunday to break the 5 second barrier (5.995) in the final against Shirley.

Don is the epitome of a drag racer..no doubt about it.

Wonder why he was voted #1 huh?

I recognize Garlits, but who's "Mr. Clean" with him??? LOL - see you in Joliet (and Indy!)!

Steve, this is an incredible photo gallery! I really appreciate the shots of the Sattelmaier B/A. Growing up in the early 70's, it was one of my favorite local cars running at Dragway 42. I remember they would bring the car around to the elementary schools for PAL anti-smoking / anti-drinking assemblies.

Thanks for sharing Steve. That collection is awesome! Took me back to a better time in Drag Racing. Wish I'd kept mine from the late 60's and early 70's.

You guys are very welcome, and thanks for the compliments.

I originally was just trying to add a couple of links to the Gar photos, in keeping with the thread topic, and not expecting anyone to spend the time looking at everything else.

Glad you all liked them, and thanks again.

Steve
