Thread: Looking for Midwestern drag car picture

Tweet

Mach1joe had a good idea with his similar thread. :-)

In '66-'68 I spent a couple years helping a friend build a B/Gas Austin sedan. He was Wayne Danner from Danville Illinois. The car was a '49-'51 Austin sedan called "Mother's Pearl". It was painted and driven by Arlyn Fulk, and was quite striking in white pearl with dramatic graphics. Power was an injected Hemi with a clutchflite.

I moved west a few years later, and lost touch with them. Unfortunately, today I take pictures of everything...but not then. :-(

On NHRA site there is a piece about ghost drag strips----lots of links to sites about the old long ago disappearred srips---lots of pics , but you have to look, get some popcorn and at least a 6 pack

Alton, US 30, White Hall, Oswego, etc

Did you ever call Arlyn? I'd bet he might have something in his port folio.

Sounds like you know him. I lost touch a while back, but I just found a current number and left a message.

Have you already tried www.gassermadness.com ? They have a lost and found section for postings like this.

I'll try it. Thanks for the reminder. :-)
