Not sure where that pic of the staging lanes was taken,

I don't think the photo had a caption but I'll check it when I get home. I thought the same thing about that Stude. I think it was in a recent magazine feature?

That Compton '63 Nova SS, if I remember right, was running an Olds rear with coil springs and a six pot intake SB. I'm sure I don't have that mag but don't remember which I saw it in. Hmm... maybe it was a CarCraft flashback from years ago.

...and it looks like McQueen is running a Corvair 6 in the back of his sand toy. Sounds about right.

And no roll bars at all on that McQueen Dune Buggy....

I think I also spot the "4-4-2 Much" 66 442 in the staging lanes just to the right and forward of that starlight coupe. If so, that car was from Minnesota, if I remember right, may give some hint as to where that pic was taken. I believe that car is being, or has been restored and is on tour like the Hurst Hairy Olds was a few years back.

Pretty rare bird in front of the 442.

If in fact this was Minnesota Dragways there are a LOT of rare and valuable cars there. The White Mustang if I recall was a 428 SCJ, there are a couple of Hemi Darts and Hemi Barracuda's there and several 396/375 Chevelles as well. Those were the days!
