The Going Thing

AA/FC "The Going Thing" was a major national advertising and promotional campaign launched by Ford for the 1969 and 1970 model years, and what better way is there to promote? That's easy, the nitro burning Ford Mustang of Tommy Grove

Time waits for no one

AA/FD From Stamford, Connecticut and moved to SoCal in the mid-1960s, Paul Gommi in the seat of his business coupe style rear engine fuel dragster.

The way it was

AA/FD Oh, man a couple of greats. Semifinals at Indy 1966, Danny Ongais gets the win over Prudhomme. Ongais definitely
left on "The Snake" and for sure, two great looking AA/FD

Your guess is as good as mine

AA/FD No ID. This digger kinda looks like "The Surfers" it isn't. No front wing, this car has a idler pulley, Skinner, Jobe & Sorokin did have a Enderle Injector for two weeks, but went back to the yellow scoop

I think somewhere I have this phot on a polaroid in one dad's boxes of old photos we took home for the shop. If not this image, something very close to it.

Hang 'Em High

AA/FD No ID. From the pages of the fantastic magazine Drag Racing Photo Greats. There was three issues from 1968 to 1971. Other publications tried to imitate from the late 70s into the 80s, even early 90s (they are good magzines) but nothing compared to the first three issues

Faded Memories

AA/FC Larry Christopherson in the seat of his 1969 Nova plastic fantastic. A couple of years later, Larry would have a Vega body funny car called the "Arizona Wildcat" I saw that car at Seattle 64 Funny Cars in 1974 or 75. Hell I'm pretty sure I saw the car a couple of times in the mid 1970s. Damn faded memory
