Default Blast from the Past

Thought this was a neat old photo - from July of 1973 at my old home track - Thunder Valley Dragway in Marion, South Dakota. Photo credit goes to Tom Olsen.

Hey AdamMeh, pretty good photo of what was going on back then and how drag cars were setup. E modified production class should have been a small block car punched out to well god only knows.
Nice, wonder if Tom or you have anymore?

That is a neat pic...maybe someone on here will know the history on that car. LOL, doubtful, they usually went to scrap from the track.

I love it! But I have a bit of a bias towards the old racers

Unfortunately dad didn't take too many pictures back in the day, too busy having fun.
