Pretty cool old cars, what era would it be early 70's. Cheers, Steve Title: Re: Drag Racing pix Post by: slim on June 21, 2003, 08:48:45 PM I owned and was restoring one of these Old Drag rails up till 2000. When an Old fella , made me an offer to good to refuse , My plan was to put the blown 350 out of my HQ coupe in it , And then find someone Game enough (or SILLY enough ) to drive it .

Yeah early 70's I think, going off the cars in the car park. Most modern car I could see was the HT/G. Title: Re: Drag Racing pix Post by: customFC on June 22, 2003, 11:04:11 AM Love the pics.
If you come across more, please share. Thanks. Regards Alex Title: Re: Drag Racing pix Post by: normd on July 14, 2003, 12:01:45 PM Hey Tony
