Nostalgia Drag Pics 9/25/04

East Coast Gassers Nostalgia Drag Show at Atco Raceway. Heres some shots I took.

Glad to relay that Fred Ristagno made it out of a near catastrophy today in his Original "Sox & Martin" 73' Duster.

He launched off the trans brake and stood the car on the bumper, then went up on the bumper then when the wheels made contact with the track again it pitched the car to the left.


Fred had no way of telling where he was or how straight he was going so he stayed into the throttle and hung the front tires 150 plus feet until he set the car down on the guardrail HARD! It was one of the most amazing wheelies I ever saw! I will post video when I can get it. Heres the aftermath.

That black cougar (20th pic from top) is just flat out mean. High 7s right? I gotta start going to the track more, haven't been in awhile. Awsome pics, glad no one was hurt.

The best car was that low slung, purplish, I think it is a Mark VIII. Ya, that was the coolest.

What he said!

Purple car? LOL! Yeah right!

The Silver 55 Bitner Boys Chevy, the Screamin' Insanity Gran Prix Funnycar and the Two Lane Blacktop Clone were the baddest there in my book. The Bitner Car has an alchohol injected BBC! MAN What a ride that car is! ALL over the track.
