I found the pics on the HAMB forum..... there's an awesome thread there called "Drag cars in motion.......picture thread". It's a massive post and growing all the time with some 172 pages as I write this!!!! You can find page 1 here http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=228509 I think I found the pics on page 170. I can't say I've seen ALL 172 pages, but I've tried.... I always check back to thread hoping to see Miss Behavin' there one day :P ;) The pics are from a guy called "rooman"..... and that's about all I can tell you.... I hope that helps! He's got plenty of great pics there!!
