iBorg Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 A bit of good news...... Hello, guys. I'm proud to announce that Gasser Madness has returned. Here is what I've written on the front page of www.gassermadness.us We lost our friend Byron Stack a little over a year ago, but his work -- Gasser Madness -- lives on. The site files took quite a beating during a computer crash at the Draglist offices a few months ago, but we have found most of them and are going to try to recreate the rest. Bear with us as we try to patch this beast back together to make the next round. Thanks to all of Byron's friends for the encouragement and thanks to Byron's family for asking us to bring the site back. Once we get 'er up and stabilized, we will begin looking for contributions for new material. I know there still are a lot of broken links... we will get 'em fixed if we can. Thanks again and RIP Byron... we got this on your behalf and it won't be fading away... As noted, some files were lost in the transition, but I have a link to the older sites from the 'Wayback Machine' and will commence recreating those. I would say we are 70 to 80 percent back, if not more. Please tell all your friends far and wide that the site URL is now gassermadness.us as gassermadness.com was snatched by a Russian Trucking Company. Please change all links on your sites and inform your pals on message boards and other sites to change their links. I'd appreciate you all helping to get the word out. Bill Pratt, Curator Byron's Gasser Madness www.gassermadness.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsModeling Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Bill - I just went to your site for the first time and was impressed with the amount of info there. I've been wanting to subscribe to Gasser Magazine for quite some time. Which is better - Gasser Mag or Gasser Wars? I noticed I've already LIKED Gasser Madness.

High octane Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I used to subscribe to both Gasser Wars and Gasser Mag since I was at the Gasser Reunion in Thompson back in '03. Both good mags, but now I only get Gasser Magazine and I'm happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Here's another great 'site for vintage drag pics, with the images divided by class. Here are the gasser pics: http://www.georgeklass.net/gassers.html Hat tip to Gary for posting the link in another topic, and causing me to lose countless hours scrolling through the page.

afx Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 This book contains a lot of the images from Casey's link above as well as good history and stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The six-lug wheels are nearly identical to those found in the Revell '57 "Black Widow" 150 Utility Sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An excellent book, as I had met the author Larry Davis back in '03 and asked him to autograph my copy before he had sent it to me. Lots of great photos and info in those pages. This book is a "must" for gasser lovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
