Club Trip to Dave Cranes Garage

[raisin27]

Our local model club recently spent the day at Dave Cranes garage. Dave is a great guy with a huge collection of vintage drag stuff and even more fascinating stories! He was the chief starter at the Martin Mich. U.S.131 dragstrip for many years and started "collecting" when all this stuff was just considered junk. I have never seen so many early hemis in one spot! It seemes every piece has a story behind it........I could have listened for a week!

I took a bunch of pics to use as reference if anyone cares to look...................

Funny my first thought was the Hogan's Heroes guy. A drag racing guy makes more sense.
