twobjshelbys. You missed some history for a carnut. Dragonsnakes where 1/4 mile cars, Bruce Larson, Tony Storer, Randy Shaw, Jere Kirkpatrick, Don McCain drove in AHRA and NHRA races in the 60's. There where both small block and big block Dragonsnakes. Harr Ford raced a BB car. They held the records in A/SP Class. There where 4 stages of the drag cars. Not 100% sure of the correct number made for 1/4 mile racing. "Hollywood Knights" has a cobra racing a 57 Belair with a blower. Bad Boys has the race at the airstrip with a cobra hitting a wall at the end of the movie. Cobras are starting to show up everywhere. Ironman crushed one. OPPS.
Now you have something to add to your library on racing. Tony Storer is still alive as far as I know. He is up in age and it would be really nice if someone he know would try talking to him and have him tell some of the stories about the 1/4 racing days. Bruce Larson passed away 2-3 years ago. Not 100% sure about the others. Tony's nickname was the "Aimer" because of the front was jacked up and he looked through the steering wheel. His ability made a 4-spd car sound like an automatic in the 1/4 runs. That's quick shifting. Rick L.
