It looks like Mr. Smiley? Is this a trick question?

Sorry, I couldn't resist - been there, done that . Try photobucket . It's free and easy. After u upload your pix and you can use their simple editing tools next to your picture, then just copy the address below your picture (the 1st one) into this site when you are making your post. OR send them my way and i will do it for you.

Here's John's photo. I tried to retain as much fidelity, but lost a tad. From what I can see on the far lane car (it is actually NOT Mr. Smiley ) it is an AHRA and NHRA 1970 Record Holder running in C/MP class. On the hood scoop it says "xxx Jones" (can't read the 1st name). Looks like your friend's competition had a decent hole shot.

Neat photo.

Look again. That's no holeshot. The car in the far lane is a slower C/Modified Production racing against a faster B/Modified Production car in the near lane so the C-class car gets the head start.
