Not Everything Works......

[Cliff]

Not every innovation works

Innovation has always been a hallmark of drag racing. New ideas – sometimes brilliant, sometimes harebrained – surfaced every weekend at tracks across the country. Some worked, some didn’t, but it even some that didn’t work still advanced the sport.

Saw that Super Mustang at Pomona, kinda ran like a slug despite all the hoopla. The Vega wagons I thought were cool and different.

The Vega wagons (well, at least one of them) lived on later as CIFCA alky F/C w/ 7.50 index. I saw one at the late Speedworld in Phx about 20 years ago. Here is a thought. Those cars were spooky as nitro cars. Am wondering if air got underneath the back of the car & raised it up as it went down the track. There was at least one Gremlin F/C and that was the problem with that car. I'm thinking there were 2 original Vega panels that ran nitro. Wonder if more were made later or if the originals survived.

The last time I saw the Jocko car was behind Glen Blakely’s shop in Tampa fall of 1973

I'm betting is a miday display-that fits in a trailer better than a 300" dragster. Right?

Yes, that is what it is. I think they did it last year. I just threw in that Top Secret to see if anyone would bite.
