Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
I was looking at the class win stickers and noticed the Eldora sticker. I grew up near there and it was my home track during the 80's. My dad raced Dick Landy there during the 60's with a 63 Sport Fury.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Neat Story about this car........
 This is the Birthplace of the Chitown Hustler.......John Farkonas built the car in his Garage and brought it out to Byron Dragway for the first time at a Major Area meet...Having never seen the car before I spent a good amount of time looking at it as it was Engineered better than anything else that was around at the time.......Farkonas was a "Sliderule" Pocket Protector guy that built a car ahead of it's time, but wasn't a tuner or driver....which was evident after his first pass...LOL...anyhow, Austin Coil came over to look at the car and gave John some tuning tips and Tuned the car (which John appeciated)......Don't remember what it ran, but it scared the Hell out of Farkonas.......so , he asked Coil to drive ( at the time Coil was a Chrysler Mechanic and raced a Hemi Plymouth)......But Austin didn't want to drive it either.......one of Austins friends, Pat Minnick (who was a Chicago Policeman) came walking by and Austin knew Pat had the Balls to get in the car....Pat drove the car that day and they won the meet.......And....That's how it all started
