Here's a link to some old drag racing pix some people might find interesting. Can't see any grey powered racers, but there is a nice stock FC wagon in there. Enjoy.

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.

Here's a pretty tough FC at the drag strip. Picture courtesy of  Ballarat Drag Racing Club. Anyone know the owner? I'd love to find out what's making that tyre smoke  Grin
