Pit Stop #48

I'll take a gamble and say that this is Bob Johnson's Cobra CSX 2494 at the 1964 USRRC Meadowdale GT Race judging by the straw hat in the background, however I am more than happy to stand corrected.

Champions !

For a car that was only produced for five years, the Cobra sure made a lasting impression.

Draggin' Deuce

Quarter mile coupes just like this inspired droves of polystyrene-crazed juveniles to glue up their own miniature monsters.

Tailgate Grinders

The mid-sixties saw a proliferation of wheelstanding pickups. Forward or backward, coming or going, it didn't matter as long as the front wheels were pointed toward the sky.

Gear Jammin'

While the rest of the world got groovy, Hubert Platt and the boys just kept shifting gears. Forget peace, love and all that long-haired stuff, The Georgia Shaker was still sporting more grease up top than under the hood.

Stretching The Truth

If a S.O.H.C 427 under the hood wasn't enough for 1965, then how about adding an few extra inches to the wheelbase and fuel injection for good measure in 1966. Just like the showroom floor....

Stereophonic Nitromethanol

With classic tracks such as "The Sound Of Shifting" and "Blower Blowing Up On Dragster-Ambulance" this album is a must for all diggers of supercharged sounds. It is also highly recommended for clearing your home of all unwanted guests in under 8 seconds.

Strip Shot #8

The Stellings & Hampshire "Red Stamp Car " was one of the most beautiful dragsters to ever burn rubber.

Understatement

Extreme must have had an alternate definition in 1959.

FoMoCo's 600-horse OHC hemi was "programmed" from drawing board to dyno in just three months with the magic of space-age computers .......

Just another old Corvette in 1969.

You can bet the maintenance conditions were a little more civilized down at Mr Norm's.
