That is Ted Beach's Gasser. It's an official NicKey Sponsored car. It runs at Da Grove with Midwest Gasser Assn.

Yes, and that's Ted's "Uncle Sam" 37 Chevy in front of it in the first picture. Both cars were fixtures at Oswego Drag Strip back in the day. Ted went to great lengths to restore the 58, as it was pretty far gone when found <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif
That car is so BAD. I love the Nickey Gassers.
