Pulled this from our very own gallery: "Milan Drag Strip, 1977." Who's is it?

CBX, origin I dunno.

Only thing I have on this is a name. Jeff DeLong. (sp?)

VW powered.

you've said that before.

i know there's smatterings of draggers in the forum but figured over all they were maybe under represented. years ago i was pondering a prostreet car build or, for the time, an unheard of prostreet bike using an ex drag frame. glad i went with a 440 nitrous duster... that bike woulda killed me!

but can you imagine the look on people's faces when you pull up to the light in a punched out 750 and car tire out back?

yeah that video was a happy find. six banger and a turbo... crazy. i'd like to see some sohc's though. remember seeing a 750(?) with a slushbox but can't find.

Don't know that myself, there's a certain amount of risk in any motorsport. Maybe some of the drag racers will chime in.

Havoc, I feel bad. Here I am without a Christmas gift for you.

These are AWESOME pictures!! Is the yellow beast yours by any chance?

The first small picture of Bill Hahn's bike with what looks like a rectangular headlight and cool header is kinda what I had in mind when I so foolishly though about a prostreet bike.

Awesome, just awesome.

That twin engined one? OK, I'm a little giddy just now.

OK, I'm sorry for stepping on your toes and posting your own picture but I just checked your link and...ohmygodohmygodohmygod.... somebody quick... I need a paper bag to breath into!!

Can't wait until Terry sees this.

Don't worry... I must have forgot that one. No harm done.

Sadly that yellow one isn't mine. My 750 is still in pieces after almost 10 years. I almost cry every time I look at it.

This is mine though... well used to be mine.

Ecosse · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2009, 07:47:12 PM »

Geez I was a bit keyed up last night. I blame coffee. And your posts. And mental illness.

As for your (sadly) former bike: it's absolutely a thing of beauty! Even in unfinished form and it makes even my pipe dream street racer look like crap! That swingarm looks like the tuning fork of the gods.

All I can say is... wow! I wanna know more but I know past relationships can be hard to talk about.

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #13 on:** January 07, 2009, 11:26:36 PM »

not much to tell...

999 twin tubo ducati. 36lbs of boost at full go.

Only got to take two runs down an actual race track with it before the heat from the turbos melted the glass and set it on fire... fun let me tell you.

Hence the carbon re-skin.

Right after it was finished and painted i was offered way more than i had in it.... so I sold it.

Somewhere around here there's a thread about top speed... used to do that with it also.

Ecosse · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2009, 11:38:44 PM »

Yeah not much to tell...

At least ya made out good with it. Got any more shots of it?

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #15 on:** January 08, 2009, 12:15:26 AM »

Sadly no.... I lost almost everything that wasn't in storage when my ex set my house on fire.

When she was arrested her excuse was that I would spend more time with her if I didn't have so much stuff.

I laugh about it now.... but it was scary as #$%* when it happened.

So I started over.

I'm too lazy to link em all.... lol. Here's more drags of all kinds.

Ecosse · « **Reply #16 on:** January 08, 2009, 12:40:06 AM »

OK ya rat fink

I bow to your superior image library. You have some very cool shots so much so I put a link on my desktop. High praise right up there with The Weather Channel.com and my local movie theater.

Seriously I hope others check it out. I think the only thing I might add are some older pix but ya got a great cross section.

Couldn't resist snagging of yours below. Should be a poster!

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #17 on:** January 08, 2009, 12:44:24 AM »

lol he was at wide open throttle, at the edge of the lane (out of the groove) moving at about 78mph and climbing all while smoking the rear wheel.

I'm told he smoked it all the way down the track. Broke the front end too after he came down.

We met Boris and Dave Campos @ Bonneville in 07.

Met a lot of interesting people, by leaving out bikes at the end of the pavement, and catching rides in..

As a matter of fact, we were in the motorhome, while Boris drove & Daves daughter was showing us pics of her brothers dragbike

, looked like an 8sec Suzuki or maybe quicker..

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #19 on:** January 08, 2009, 07:51:00 PM »

Sweetness!!!

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #20 on:** January 08, 2009, 08:54:09 PM »

Nice to see you have a few English bikes in your gallery.
The one pulling a big wheelie on page 2 at Santa Pod is my mate Keith Parnell.
Keith is 9 years older than me and was the first person this side the pond to run in the 8s.

I love drag pix from the 50's and 60's, cars or bikes. Hope I don't repeat too many of Havoc's images here.

Please, more first (second, third) hand stories. Can't get enough of it.

I want a street legal bike exactly like the one the guy in cowboy boots with a #8 on his helmet has.
