Vintage photos FE racers

[thatdarncat]

Was surfing the web and found these photos ( and many more ) on a website for Keystone Dragways / Bison Dragways in Manitoba Canada. A few photos taken by FE racer Don Fotti, maybe he'll join in with some background. The first one is of Minnesotian Tom Hoover and his SOHC powered dragster. This got me thinking maybe Jay could interview him, Tom lives in Maple Grove MN last I knew.


This one is Richard Charbonnau's stock eliminator 427 Fairlane wagon.


And I've seen the Ford drag team before, but have never seen the Ford of Canada drag team, cool stuff.


Just thought this might get some discussion going on a weekend night.

Hopefully this link gets you to the site

This is a picture of my dad's 66 Cyclone GT. He was the original owner sold the car in about 77 and bought it back in 97. It needs to be restored. He ran a 370 cubic inch FE 428 block with a steel 361 truck crank and CJ heads with a tunnel wedge and 4 speed. His car ran 10.94 as it sits in the pictures and was drove on the street regurly.

That's a nice Cyclone GT. I'm kind of partial to the Comets myself, although mine needs a full resto. Here's a couple more Comets from the same website, the first a Cyclone


And this one an original 427 in a Capri body


Here's a better photo of Tom Hoovers Cammer


And finally one of Kallitta's SOHC. Not rare to see his dragster, but cool anyway.
