Mary Ann Foss and Black Magic (58 Pontiac), they won the 1964 D/SA title

Long story short, a mother of 4 kicked butt on the track! If you have the 1964 Nov issue of Hot Rod, go to page 72. If I remember, I will scan that and post it here.

Awesome drag racing video, it's been too long since I posted one... the audio and video are incredible, especially at minute 4:07 watching the Hemi Under Glass carry them the full 1320

Want to see the Pomona dragstrip with 1964 action? With Tommy Ivo's, Don Garlits', and the Greer Black Prudhomme top fuel rails? Plus Dean Jeffries Manta Ray in action. What if you have to put up with a 60's Annette and Frankie Beach Party type movie? well, it was worth it to get these shots

The movie starts with the bunch of surfer-dragster-dancer kids going to the beach to surf. That trailer has very era correct art, just take a look at the "Monster shirts" of Mouse, Jeffries, Roth, and Von Dutch... especially the Mouse art http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/mouse-monster-shirts.html

 and here are a couple close ups

 And the same artist did the set work of Don Rickles' character's bar

 below photo has a couple cool dragsters on the wall behind the musician's stage

Dean Jeffries' Manta Ray in action, and towing a dragster http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-did-dean-jeffries-mantaray-have-289.html

the above C&T Automotive slingshot has a word painted just above the parachute, "Britannia" but it only appears on the car half the time this dragster is on screen

The movie edittors must have been going to Movie "Grade School" becuase they were real bad. The clip I got from a drag race sequence was flipped backwards, notice the above dragsters lettering

 Tommy Ivo's famous "Showboat" , in the below video, which has the movie clip of it running down the track, Tommy explains how he engineered the 4 engines to work simultaneously

Don Rickles in the red jumpsuit, his character runs the dragstrip and owns the bar "Big Drag's Pit Stop" at the beginning of this post

 There were about 10 sligshot dragsters on the movie set, the Manta Ray, and the Show Boat

  Pontiac Tempest or Bonneville wagon for a team push car, way cool rims

And they even went so nuts as to include a guy in a chimp suit thoughout the entire movie, and even had it drive a Harley Davidson Topper scooter, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-did-harley-owners-ever-reinvent.html but with a sidecar... I've never seen a Topper with a sidecar... quite kooky

late 1960's early 1970's dragsters and the haulers they got rides on

all found on a thread on Moparts about Mopar haulers and the race cars... very cool stuff, two of my favorite topics http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=4135439&page=0&fpart=32&vc=1 

cool photo from Endlessme Tumblr

I wish I was there... might be dangerous to street race in person instead of on the track, but as an image, looks attractive http://endlessme.tumblr.com/

59 Pontiac built with used parts and NOS, ran 10 second 1/4 miles all day

Brent McCoy used Nitrous, a 477 big block Chevy engine and took it to Hot Rod Maazine drag week. This guy knows how to have fun!

Found in the Jan 2012 Hot Rod

Cruz Pendregon in 1965, photo from the back page of the Dec 2011 Car Craft

Drag racers know Cruz is in his own career as a remarkable drag racer... but for the rest of the readers who aren't drag racing followers, his dad Frank was also a drag racer of great fame. This photo was taken by Pat Brollier at Fontana in Nov '65

Drag racing dump truck clocks a 15 second pass. Damn! that is hauling!

Connie Kalitta driving the Bounty Hunter, the only drag racing triple crown winner in history

He won the 1967 top fuel trophy in all 3 winter meets, the NHRA, the AHRA and NASCAR
