How many world records were set that year? There must have been several runs, and the piston may have come out of an engine that exploded before the last record was set... though 5.34 is a lot faster than the record I found at 5.78.

It would be a shame to paint the slicks if they were part of that history. Someone in the drag racing world might like to get the set... The piston tells a story that might make the tires worth keeping.

 

the Tires are just some 10-15 year old never runs that were up there... the Piston I reached out to the Garlits museum to authenticate and I offered it to them if they wanted it... I also have Tony Schumachers #4 piston from his world record in Sonoma running 3.814 at 321.65 MPH. It would be cool to keep them together but i will give them both the museum if they want them haha

 

Looks more like the boothill express...

 

My Meyers Manx I should have never sold.

 

...^^^... Good catch ... I was not aware of this vehicle.

 

The finials don't look the same, but the rest looks similar enough. There was another hearse type rig in those days but I don't think it had as much rake.

 

WHOA... in the very worst way...

 

Knock knock, who's there!



A bad race day! That's who!!!!!

 

What did the valve say to the piston....



You and me should get together!!! (But the guide was like..."I'm never letting you go!!!")

 

These are a couple things of beauty...

 

Here's one I saw this summer.
