AA/FD Going through some boxes the other day and found this. Looks like I cut this picture out of a magazine, when I did,
I have know idea? the magazine? But for sure the year is 1976 and Shirley doing a fire burnout. I don't remember her
doing to many fire burnouts.

AA/FD Bill Tidwell "come-in at you" not sure of the AA/FD he is in the seat of? Was this before Mike Kuhl
or after, but for sure it's before the Lisa & Rossi "the flying doorstop" car (see below) I saw this AA/FD the
one and only time I went to Lion's, July of 1972 it was the NHRA Div 7 race and Tidwell set the national
speed record at 239.64

AA/FD Here is a pretty cool shot of a pair of AA/FD on the rollers at Pomona. Jack Martin in the Rossi & Lisa car.
I'm having a senior moment who the owner is, U.S. Air Force fuel dragster? Pretty sure the late Gary Essman is in
the seat.
