steve,
i think your photo album is the best group of pics anyone has ever shared
here on the mater - present or past racing - incredible. thank you.
priceless images.
if i hit 'view album' in the 6th horizontal row of pics there's a shot of don p.
in front of pickup topper - in the window of the topper there is an old
NHRA pillow case hanging in window, you can read 'super nationals'.
i still have that exact pillow case and still in mint condition; also a
matching towel and washcloth with oval NHRA logo.

I'm usually a bit ho-hum about photo albums but I have to agree with the others - these are SO excellent. They brought back some great memories of the way drag racing used to be. It was great to remember some of those cars I'd forgotten about long ago.
Thoughts that came into my head while browsing the collection, in no particular order:
Gravel pits, no ropes, walk right up.
STUPID hats!
One word: Sideburns
No, it wasn't just hormones. Jungle Pam WAS that breathtaking.
Rusty Glidden was really young when he started helping his dad.
Pro Comp rules!
Shirley Muldowney and Afrosheen.
You could plug your scoop with a jacket/t shirt/pillowcase. Nobody cared.
Pro Stockers were actually real cars. They drove to the starting line in a parade.
The Rod Shop Hemi Colt has to be one of the top 5 cool comp cars of all time.
That picture of Jenkins may be the best I've ever seen.
OK, enough of a geezer wheezing about the good old days. But, hopefully the other old guys out there can help me with a couple of questions.
Whose Pro Stock car is shown in the photos of a wrecked car in the shutdown area?
I can't read the emblem on the quarter panel of Garlits' truck. What did they call those? Prospectors?
Anyhow, thanks so much for the memories.

in ref to your short list lmao...
yepper I had a brim or two like Beck's... now all my hats come from Fox Fire...
sideburns check.... Pam check, Perm... I mean Fro... yeah... all others... boy howdy....
Something is very important about Pic # 91.. care to guess
oh, did I say Pam, somethings are burn into a young man's brain forever...

Ya got me, pal. There looks to be a larger than normal group of officials behind the line...The right lane already has a green light while the left lane looks like it's still got the pedal on the mat...The left lane looks like a real racy car (Mustang or Maverick?) but the car on the right ain't so racy (Gremlin?)...Whatever is happening, it sure has everybody's attention.
Maybe d'kid somehow appears in that image?
Speaking of Pam, I ran into her at Reading back about 99 or so. She's still got that smile, the looks, the....
...uh, t-shirts?
All kidding aside, I really enjoyed talking to her. Nice lady.
Edit: Waitta minute! The picture clue is yellow shorts?
