I just learned of a treasure of 60's dragstrip photos, Nomad Eternus Flikr page




Above, the only photo I've seen of Danny Ongais, who you may have not learned was an Army paratrooper, AHRA and NHRA champion, and among other famous teams, he drove for Roland Leong, John Mazmanian, Dragmaster, and while partnered with Mickey Thompson they broke 295 records at Bonneville. He won a lot of SCCA races, qualified for a lot of Indy 500, and what else I don't know




above, plexi windows in the front of a belly tanker... must have been a blast to drive!


Above, that is some air induction!
