Some really great pix of drag racing in Virginia in the 60's.

Here's some more even older stuff.

        I agree, thanks for posting. Saw some really cool stuff and then I came across the Plymouth Barracuda that Richard Petty stuck a Hemi and went drag racing while the ordeal was hashed out about Chrysler's 426 Hemi being legal or not. Sure looked funny seeming him in a Drag car. ;)

Great photos especially the before and after shots. Truly a time gone by. It looked like a lot of fun as well! And probably didnt cost $60 for a ticket like modern day sports  ;)


Ben - great shot there of the Triumph and the now-famous owner  ;)

thanks for posting
