One more I took of Colin in the Cobra.
If you looked close enough,you could see him grining from ear to ear. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...s/scr80003.jpg |
Re: SCR8 Drag Racing Shots (and a bit more)
Two of the Funniest,most generous guys you will ever find.
Thats John Platania (SSL78) on the left & Darren Costello (DarrenX33) next to him. John couldn't get the car off idle and Darren was quick on the spot to lend a helping hand.He was soon on his way. These two guys are a wealth of knowledge & experience,who are only surpassed by their kindness. I owe them much & enjoy their company & sharing Giggles.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...scr8x20001.jpg |
Re: SCR8 Drag Racing Shots (and a bit more)

Re: SCR8 Drag Racing Shots (and a bit more)

I dont have it right but he guy with Jr Dragster was a wrench back in the day at ?????? or something like that, someone told me who he was and said he looks the same today as he did in '69...I walked through the pits with them when they went to run it..the kid was so jacked and proud to be hanging out.

Re: SCR8 Drag Racing Shots (and a bit more)
Last one.
Taken at end of the show when all moved out. That's Tom in the Center. A few of us got some Dick Harrell/Fred Gibb cars in a row back against the far wall. Many noteables stood there looking at this site for a moment....You could hear a pin drop. It was a moment that a camera just doesn't do justice. I was in awe. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...scr8x30063.jpg |

Re: SCR8 Drag Racing Shots (and a bit more)
Rick, I was very HAPPY to be a part of the Great "MOTION" display!! It was a good spot and the Motion guys moved their cars over to make room for me. APPRECIATED that. I enjoy coming to the REUNION as my "SON" gets to attend and this year Especially VERY "PROUD" of him for running 11.9 with the MOTION. We were having problems with the HOLLEY 3 barrel and when we got to the motel Jim Johnson tore it apart and made some repairs and assured us that she should be running 11.50's -- maybe next year we will see. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif THANKS to all for the Pictures, we have a video that maybe we can post too. GREAT seeing everyone and the cars!!!

Re: SCR8 Drag Racing Shots (and a bit more)
Thanks Sam,
The Lamar Waldon decal explains a little about how he ran so good. Carter 750s, not the stock 600s. Lot's of changes from "stock". In case others haven't clicked on Sam's link, you should.....there are a LOT of other drag pics there! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif |
Re: SCR8 Drag Racing Shots (and a bit more)
Lamar Walden spacers under those valve covers too !
