Wow. That is a classic. I have never seen that shot before.
Me either and I still have 90% of my drag racing magazines I started getting 55 plus years ago.
I love the picture also, not just because I am in it but I think most picture's of the Hustler are doing a burn out. Also look at the crowd not one cell phone. LOL. I have a 20x20 picture here next to my desk. Lou Hart sells them, he is always at the march meet and the CHRR, I think you can Google Lou hart photos to buy one.
Pretty rare when I run across a picture of this car that I haven't seen before. Really well done shot.
What a great photo, thanks for finding it.

Bill Carmichael (RIP) and I bought that car from Don Madden after we ran the frount motor joint venture. we ran injected fuel for a while then switched to blown alky. with the help of my good friend Dale Armstrong it ran very good IMOP, we won a few races. Bill got married and decided to quit. we sold the car and a few mounts later I was announcing at Carlsbad for a special TAD race. The new owner made a burn out and after he backed up, I told everyone in the tower WATCH!! he is Going to crash right now. He went to do a dry hop and sure enough went straight backwards and hit the back wall and went upside down. the tower personal including my late wife Pam said how did you know that was going to happen, I said looking here form the high point of the tower, I could see he didn't put it back in forward. I knew that car well.

PS: I think our fellow mater Roger Gates built the chassis.
Yep - That is the car I did and drove for for Madden (Howard Cam Special) when we changed to "Back Motor". Kenny Ellis made the Magnesium Body. It looks the same but not sure if it is. We even ran the first Arias prototype stuff in it (1"plate bolted to the block with 3 Pushrods) You did better with it than we did in T/F but it wasn't the cars fault. Thanks for heads up on the car.. RogerRandy

Yes Mike that cable went to the pole on the right side and held the tree. we would take the tree up after each race day and lock it high up.
You have good eyes, I don't see a tree in the photo.
