Several of John Hagen's Hemi cars. Sadly he was killed in a drag racing accident in a run while we were staging for our run down the track in our Camaro Pro Stock.

I don't see John's name on the door. New owner? Also, first time I seen a photo of his '72 'Cuda car running in C/Gas instead of Pro Stock. Outdated by then?

John owned the car at the time that photo was taken. I believe it was later changed to the red (similar graphics) paint scheme and John still owned it. Shortly after it was sold to John Scholla. The last photo is how the car looks today and is still raced.

Thanks for the info. 'Cuda looks great with those gold anodized Cragar Super Tricks.

Speaking of John Hagen, this was one of his very first race cars. A real 63 427 aluminum front clip car.
