Fender mounted wheelie bars at Irwindale. Seems hard to believe that was just 30 years ago. Awesome display of history. Nice job!

I found the link over on http://www.nostalgiaprocomp.com/
That's an intresting group of people.

Those pics bring back memories. Gad, I'm getting old!

Good post SlowMo, i've seen them before but well worth looking at again and i did. I love the old days and what racing used to represent. Did you by chance notice almost no stickers in those days, before the big time sponsers?

:) :) Man that brings back memories :!: :!: I was little at the track with my dad when he was racing, and seeing all those car's run.

thanks slowmotion, im goin along with zip on this one.i use to be into photography a long time ago,and that pic of that dragster with the world on fire behind it, has got to be one of the best pics ive ever seen!!!!thanks agian for posting . ken

I had a nice collection of Johny Lightning die cast of a bunch of those old cars ...got washed away in a flood last summer. Great pictures.

Those guys had balls of steel.

Sorry to hear about the collection. Actually sorry to hear you were in a flood at all.

I wonder if 20-30 years from now people will look back on what we are racing and say the same thing. By that time there may be safety equip we haven't even thought of yet.

It could also be "Can you guys believe those guys used to race with gasoline? They were crazy" :D

Thanks Slomo, What a trip back in time and I remember most of them. Later J.Smith 4621 racing :D

Very nice pics. I have some videos from Old Gateway with some Funny cars back in the 70's. Cool stuff

Dave Milcarek and Steve Bell are the photographers in my area. They Shoot mostly at Englishtown and ATCO. Great guys to boot. Here is another link to a gallery that I have had for a very long time with all the legends. The Ray Mann Collection is unbelievable with old school funny car and Pro Stock
