Thanks for all the great photo's and memories.
I miss the old day's more all the time.

Things were just so much better in many way's and drag racing was all many of us thought about.

I always liked this last pic of the Ridge Route Terrors in their garage. I have a poster size print of this one from the NHRA Museum.

by the great Jon Asher....taking a magnificent photo is more than subject matter and lighting, it's knowing that you're capturing a moment in history before any one else realizes it

The Gabby Bleeker car just screams everything cool about the early Sixties! And how can you not love Dode's Woody push car, or Snively setting the world on it's ear at the 1972 Supernationals with the first official 5 second pass? In a wheel pants car no less!
