Had this link emailed to me yesterday. Has some pretty cool photos that I thought would be interesting to some on here.

If you look under super stock.
There is some interesting fastback Chevy II / Nova cars, I never knew these existed? Reminds me of the early Barracuda. Lots of Early A drag cars in the photos to so enjoy!

Great site. I've been going to the Drag Races since 1959 and remember many of those cars.My favorite have always been and still are Super Stock/Comp Eliminator type racing. I can go to this day and if they left the top fuel/funny cars home I would not miss them at all.The fastback Nova's are something I don't remember seeing tho.Thanks

Awesome thread! Rani,and her wagons,and the Winged Express.(my favorite Gasser,period). Wild Willie Borsch,would be proud. Saw, the Winged Express tap the wall at 1150-1200 feet,left lane March Meets 5-6 years ago. Slid through the traps,on it's side. Love Gassers,for the obscene violence ,and horsepower they represent....
