FE Powered Dragsters
« on: January 29, 2018, 07:09:08 PM »
I thought that I would post a couple of photos that I took in the early 70s of dragsters at Mission Raceway, with FE power. I only saw these cars this one time, so I have no idea where they were from, but I imagine most likely the Pacific Northwest. Anybody ever seen these cars before? I also have a shot of a front engine drgaster with a stack injected 427 SOHC, but since it would need to be scanned, thats beyond my limited skills. Since I was a teenager with a cheap Kodak Brownie camera about 45 years ago, the photo quality is hardly magazine quality!

That's pretty cool. Looks like they are low buck efforts given the painted and/or cheap valve covers.
