I was looking through & thought I'd share a few, technical difficulties, I have to photo bucket them.

These are from Central Florida dragway, Now Speedworld. My Dad is the starter in the pictures. My brother is the skinny kid with glasses & his fingers in his ears. It was cool being 5 & a pit rat! I spent some good time of my young years there.

cool pics! and thanks for sharing:)

as for the beetle those things can be very quick in the 1/8 they are lightweight and the few pounds they have is mostly on the rearend.. they may not have had as much power back then and i gues aftermarket parts have picked them up alot with time but the same holds true for v8 powered musclecars

I have more but I have to scan them. I wish I could just post them instead of putting them to photobucket

A friend of mine who lives about a 1/2 mile from me now owns that Tommy Ivo dragster. Another friend of mine did all the paint work on it and is the same person that painted my Charger. The dragster was lightly crashed into the rear of Garlits dragster at the 2007 cacklefest event. There's a video of the "fender bender" on youtube. Thanks for the pics! The guys that raced those cars have the biggest stones of all racers.
