Holdin' on to Yesterday

AA/FD No ID. Photo by, hell I don't know. But for sure it's late 1965 and well, just bitchin

 

[Gone Dead Train]

Your guess is as good as mine

AA/FC or? For sure it's a funny car chassis (maybe they are running it as a AA/FA in a booked in or a open AA/FA show)
with a BBC on nitro and a wing (very cool) and last but not least, a bizzare injector hat. Oh, photo by WGAF

This beat goes on/Switchin' to glide

AA/FA It's the year 1976 at Tucson. Originally from Albuquerque, now resides here in Washington State for the past 45 years.
It's Dave "Nasty" Benjamin in the seat of his AA/FA. Oh, photo by WGAFF

Bring on the Night

AA/FD Fantastic photo, from the Wolverine State it's the "Ramchargers" with I believe is Chuck Kurzawa in the seat or maybe not?
Oh, photo by someone with a camera

 

[Gone Dead Train]

What were once vices are now habits

AA/FD No ID. I'm lost for words for this fantastic photo. I will just say the only thing I know...Bitchin. JJ was right, Drag Racing is Far Out

 

[Gone Dead Train]

Holdin' on to Yesterday

AA/FD From the pages of Hot Rod magazine, Tony "The Loner" Nancy. I had this bitchin photo on my bedroom wall many, many moons ago.
Like 54 years ago...Yikes

Time slips away

AA/FD Gary "Mr. C" Cochran in the bleach box, waiting for the AA/FC to make it's run. Taking a guess here, the flopper is "Smokey Joe" Lee in
the seat of his Dodge Charger, I'm probably wrong, like always. I do know someone with a camera took the picture

AA/FD at Dusk

AA/FD No ID. To this day, I still love B&W photo's, they catch the moment

 

[Gone Dead Train]

Faded Memories

AA/FD From the Eastern Seaboard it's the K&G Speed Associates fuel digger, with Ron Rivero in the seat at Pomona

Tripping out, back in time

Just a Normal Day

AA/FD From the pages of Rodder and Super/Stock (it was a pretty good magazine back in the day) "The Snake" at OCIR, check out the headers
are glowing, very cool

 

[Gone Dead Train]

Was it just a dream

AA/FC From the Grand Canyon State it's Johnny West. Remember seeing this flopper a few times in the mid 1980s here in the Northwest.
Johnny would do the burnout on alcohol (save parts) and switch over to the yellow stuff when backing up
