This is my take on the no-nonsense stripped down diggers that made up the numbers every weekend

during drag racing’s Golden Age at strips like Lions Association Drag Strip, Fremont, Fontana and Pomona.

I posted this on “Under Glass†but realize maybe I should have posted it in Drag Racing Models. More pictures and a full description can be found at:

Wonderful Build. I used to go watch them run at the OLD San Fernando Drag Strip from the Foothill Road Uver Pass at the End of the Strip.

That turned out really well! Very old school period-correct!
