I know several of you attend car shows in So Cal.
With that in mind, I am looking for any pictures of this Ranchero. I've
owned two '72's (one with a 429 big block) and am considering getting
another, as I have some definite ideas for modifications. Any shots
will be kept to myself for personal use and not be shared on the net. I
appreciate it.

Hey Drag Racing Kids!!! Here's a late night Ed "Big Daddy" Roth "Motor Fink" drag toon for you to dig on. Take care and we'll talk soooon! Your Cartoon Drag Fink Pal...Jeff
I thought I'd share a little of my cartoon drag racing excitement with you kids.
Check out the Drag Fink's Dragmaster in this issue of Drag Racing On-Line Magazine!!! What a mind-blower!!!! I want to say a big thank you to Darr Hawthorne and Jeff Burk for this great surprise!!! Take care everyone and I'll see you at the drag strip!!!! Your Cartoon Drag Fink Pal...Jeff
I thought I'd go a little formal on you with a design of the Mooneyes A/FX type prototype funny car. Even my more realistic drawing have that cartoon edge.

I was doing some online research on the San Paulo guys with the "Spaghetti Benders" dragster and came across this:
If you put ther term "dragster" in the search box, you'll get access to bunch of classic clips- some from movies I have seen or own, but many other things. No sound, but I've been digging the 1963 footage of Pomona, with the focus seeming to be on the Frantic 4 fueler.

Wayne,
Thanks for the Detroit Dragway memories! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Sibley at Dix!!
My dad took me there for my 8th grade graduation ('64) and I still remember many
of the cars. It was the first live race I ever attended.
I raced there in the late 60's early 70's and most of the pits were still
dirt!!!!! Still have my one class win trophy.
It was WAY cool to see George Montgomery's baby blue Willys, the DCB coupe, the
Dragmaster, Green Monster...all of them!
Gary O

Hey Drag Racing Kids!!! I thought I'd share some good news that the Dragmaster has been NHRA certified to 7.50. Not that I'm gonna take it that fast, but it's good to know the chassis is good to that ET. In the photos is Pat Cvengros from NHRA, who did the job. Cory Weyer did all the chassis work. Dode Martin bent 5 new chassis bars for the Dragmaster. Take care gang and we'll talk soooon! Your Cartoon Drag Fink Pal...Jeff
