1st ride in a real Gasser
 

I just want to thank Mark Johnson for giving me a ride yesturday in his 1955 Vintage Gasser... Last year I gave him a ride in my 69 Z28 and the little mouse motor impressed him, but boy was I in for a shock as a passanger of his fire breathing Rat motor in the double nickel... This car has a great race history even winning at the old Alton Drag-a-way in the late 60's, and the owner loves his car and has preserved the history of this race car for future generations to enjoy... Here is a picture of it at Bowling Green this past Summer... And again, thanks Mark for the ride, I still have a grin on my face... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

at least you took the safe route and rode in the 55 instead of the death trap next to it to the left

I can imagine what I would feel like after a ride in that. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Tell us more about the history of the car at Alton. We spent a LOT of time there in the mid/late '60s.

I love those Gassers. Let's get some more Gasser pics up here. Here is my 57. My favorite car to drive, no numbers match, just big smiles. Dana

Dana..I'd like to see that 57 in the members section. Looks killer.
