yep i like that to .i hear the guys used the 727 with the push button shifters use to N drop them old trans till they out law that and you could get air off all 4s

Another highly recognizeable shot! ...A moment that changed drag racing forever.

Back to the Magic Muffler car, after the coupe they campaigned a roadster, and it had some "interesting" moments as well.......

Here's a few more

Since this has been showing several fuel alters, I was going to put up the pics of Tom Ferraro in there altered, normal run, on fire run , and then all four off ground in my Pinto---
didn't remember how to do it , but the pics are in my gallery if any one wants to see them or post them for me------and yes, the fire did burn off some of his fingers, a common problem with the firesuit/gloves back then----

Here they are Jerry.

You guys got me obsessed, these are from classicdragsters.com . Lots of great vintage stuff over there. Couldn't resist the look on Hubert's face.

And a couple more.......

I like the first picture as you can clearly see him looking down to see if his legs were destroked. And the one with the blond bending over in to the car is real close to that one. Kurt

Just to keep this thing going, here is a pic of Ron Mancini's trans explosion at the 69 world finals
