A few pics of my mentors ride from the 60'S

I call this gentleman my 2nd dad. He has done a lot for me growing up and still to this day. I could not thank him enough for all his advice and personal help hes given me throughout my life. Here are just a few of the several I have.

Wow thanks for sharing the pics! I really love drag racing, as far as driving goes, but what I REALLY like is seeing the history of our sport, from the pictures of what it looked like back in the 60's...I would have killed to be driving then!

Looks as if most Nitro tanks back then were around 5 Gal ?

I call the Halibrand rims on the front of the Winged Express, "Funny Car Rims", however; what were these rims called ?   I am not referring to the 12 spoke rims they ran for a short period of time.....

Kool 2nd Dad !!!
