I still dream you (Kids in America)

AA/FD Sorry you've heard this before, my favorite AA/FD, I never got to see. They were gone by September of 1966. I went to my first drag race June of 1968. From Santa Monica, California "The Surfers" Skinner, Jobe & Sorokin. Tom Jobe with fingers in ears at Bakersfield

Reelin' in the Years

AA/FD No ID. But for sure it's Irwindale. Wheels up, tires smoking. Very cool 1966

Faded Memories (I'm sorry "Invader Bitch")

AA/FC Found this in Drag Racing USA Magazine, the picture had no caption. I don't remember "The Invader" having a Camaro body.
Was Glen Salano and Dick Olsen still partners? Was this some other deal? Was "Mighty Mike" Van Sant or Bobby Smith (really) or
someone else in the seat?

People in Motion

AA/FC How about the 1970 AMC Javelin nitro flopper "The Nutcracker" with SoCal veteran Gary Read in the seat. Gary would go on
and have a pretty good top fuel career

Washing out the Years

BB/FC I love the Alky Cars! 1977 Winter Nats and from "The Prairie State" it's Pat Cress in the seat of "Chicagoan" Mustang BB/FC

Wings over America

AA/FC 1972 at Tulsa and in the bleach box Wayne Wilder's "Phantom" Vette, with Paul Gordon in the seat (I think). But for sure Mart
Higginbotham's "Drag-On" Vega in the far lane. You think Wilder was trying to keep the Vette glued to the ground? I dig it

Northwest Explorer

AA/FD From Washington State it's Glen Foster in the seat. I remember seeing Glen race back in the 70s, but I don't think I ever saw this Top Fuel dragster of Bill and Claire Stammerjohan, if I did, I don't remember
