Title: My dad's drag pinto....
Post by: kdda191 on August 28, 2008, 10:14:28 AM
My dad built this car in 1981-82. It was his daily driver 72 with a 78or so front clip. 289 .060 over, top loader 4spd, 543 gears. Won many many many races and championships in Washington and Oregon. I just thought Id post a few pics for ya guys. Its still alive and running the same track my dad owned, but it now is a 302/ford-o-matic setup....


Here was one of his first passes in it in April of 82

Thank's for posting up some pics of the good old days. That's a sweet car and I'm glad that it is still kicking. I love modern technology, but the good old days truly are, the GOOD OLD DAYS.
