\nThink of one car that always got the crowd’s attention and it would have to be the famous Willys of Stone, Woods, and Cook. Driver Doug \"Cookie\" Cook is hard at work at the Winternationals back in 1965. The \"Swindler A\" was in it's black and gold ‘tude at the meet.

\nPhil and Fred Castronovo campaigned this 1971 Dodge Charger that’s seen at the Winternationals. Phil drove the 480” Keith Black powered Hemi that was in a Logghe Brothers Chassis at the time before switching to a Woody. Phil was vocal about some of the NHRA’s safety procedures at the time and was denied entry at IRP that year. He showed them later at Amarillo during the World Finals when he became World Champion. We have a quick speed that year for him at 219.51 mph and quick time of 6.810 at Atco.

\nThis Publicity photo was used by Tony Nancy during his 1970 racing season. We see Tony doing a burnout off the line during a run at the Winternationals in February. The car features a 1970 Woody Gilmore Race Car Engineering chassis powered by a 426” Nitro burning Keith Black Hemi. Tony qualified 14th in the 32 car field at Pomona and went on to the final round only to lose to Larry Dixon’s 6.86-second run. Best speed for Tony that year was a 220.04 mph run at OCIR in July and his best ET was 6.555 at Fremont in June.

\nThe team of Whipple & McCulloch ditched their ’69 Camaro for the 1970 season and ran this ’70 Plymouth Duster. Art Whipple from Fresno was the owner and Crew Chief and Ed “The Ace” Mcculloch was the shoe. It featured a Dick Fletcher chassis that was powered by a blown 426” Keith Black Hemi running on Nitro and covered by a Fiberglass Trends glass body. We see the car at Orange County International Raceway smoking its tires off the line. Best time and speed for the year was a pass of 212.76 mph @ 7.120. See the October ’70 issue of Drag Racing USA for a complete story on the car.

\nJerry Ruth out of Seattle, Washington ran his Pay-N-Pak Top Fuel Dragster during the 1971 and 1972 season. This shot shows him smokin’ the rears at Bakersfield. The ride consisted of a Don Long chassis powered by a 426” supercharged Nitro burning Chrysler Hemi that fed the rear wheels through a two-speed trans. Jerry did his own wrenching and driving. The best time we have him for in ’71 is a 6.430 at Bremerton, Washington. In ’72 we have him upping his game with speed of 235.60 mph at Mission, British Columbia in June and quick time of 6.060 seconds at Indy in September.

We have a quick time for that year at 7.640 seconds at Lions and a top speed of 200 mph. \n \n©AHRF\/Bernie Shuman Collection","thumb":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BSC_363_Clyde-Morgans-EXP-Javelin-69-110x70_c.jpg","title":"BSC_363"},"gallery_id":"tags_drag_racing","tags":{"503":"60s","826":"bsc","466":"drag","493":"dragster"}},{"status":"published","src":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BSC_340_Fred-Monaghans-Gemini-Cricket-66.jpg","title":"BSC_340","link":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BSC_340_Fred-Monaghans-Gemini-Cricket-66.jpg","alt":"BSC_340_Fred-Monaghans-Gemini-Cricket-66","caption":"<strong>BSC_340_Fred-Monaghans-Gemini-Cricket-66<\/strong>

\nThis June 1966 shot shows Fran Monaghan’s 1964 Dodge A100 Pickup he called “Gemini Cricket”. The Alcohol burning ride was powered by a 426” Chrysler Hemi. Fran was the driver and wrench and home base for the wheelstander was Pennsylvania. He later crashed the car then created a new back-up version for more show biz action that he could actually see out of. By ’71 version 2 had run 142 mph and was timed at 10.430 seconds.

\nA rare shot of Joe “Jet” Jackson in this August 1965 shot at Sanford, Maine being pushed in front of the crowd before a run. The chassis was possibly by Garlits and was powered by a 392 Chrysler Hemi on Nitro. Joe was from Jefferson, Massachusetts and did his own wrenching. Later that year he took a road trip to Lions and, sadly, had a fatal crash there.

\nThis is the sixth in a series of “California Flash” race cars owned and driven run by Butch Leal. The car started life as a ’71 A-body Plymouth Duster fitted with a 6 cylinder. Mr. Leal stripped the car down, had the body acid dipped and took what was left to Ron Butler Racing where he and Butch worked their magic on the chassis. They inserted a 426” Hemi that was put together for Butch by Joe Allread. Go fast parts used were supplied by Hedman Hedders, Savage Clutch, Lakewood Bell Housing, Champion Spark Plugs, Weiand, Fram, Kendall, Milodon and Fenton Wheels. Three weeks after completion Butch ran a 144.92 mph in 9.578 seconds to set a record at Fremont. The car was the first Pro-Stocker to run 150 mph and Butch was the ’71 and ’72 Division 7 Champion in the Duster. Don Prieto snapped this pix at IRP.

\nDecember 1963 issue of Popular Science magazine that featured the “Dead End Kids” Dragster on the cover. Inside it said the car was owned by Richard Lang, Tom Dickerson and Joe Anahory from Brookland, New York. It also said the car was powered by a 485” Chrysler. Some digging on Draglist revealed that Richard was really driver “Red” Lang and the car was owned by Red, Joe Anahory and Spider Razon. The List also said it had a Rod Peppmuller chassis and Joe and Spider were co-crew chiefs. Only problem was a picture inside the mag that has Lakewood Chassis painted on the front airfoil. Seems some further digging is required so the next time we spot Spider we’ll get the real facts.

When the car debuted it was powered by a Ford SOHC 427 that ran 189.70 in 7.86 seconds but was soon replaced by the Hemi that ended up running 191.88 mph in 7.60 at Milan on August 11.

His topless 1966 Dart called the “Flying Dutchman” was a staple in Funny Car racing starting in mid ’66 and is seen at Lions making smoke. It featured a Britting Engineering chassis made from 2” x 3” 4130 square-tubing and sported a long 135 wheelbase. It flexed to the point that the car would literally bounce up and down under power. For go it had a 392” ’58 Chrysler topped with a 6-71. Al also learned that the roofless silhouette had a negative influence on airflow. See the November ’66 issue of Hot Rod for more info.

His topless 1966 Dart called the Flying Dutchman was a Funny Car staple from the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s. The Britting Engineering built chassis was of 2” x 3” square-tube 4130 and sported a long 135 wheelbase. It flexed to the point that the car would literally bounce up and down under power. Al also learned that the roofless silhouette had a negative influence on airflow. The following year, he broomed his topless dancer and managed a conventional Dart with a much shorter wheelbase—and put a roof over his head as well.","created_timestamp":null,"copyright":null,"focal_length":null,"iso":null,"shutter_speed":null,"title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":null,"resized_images":["110x70_c","50x50_c","640x640_c"]},"thumbnail":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-150x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-300x200.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman.jpg","large":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman.jpg","Blog":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-720x280.jpg","2col":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-564x352.jpg","3col":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-380x285.jpg","4col":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-275x190.jpg","6col":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-175x150.jpg","horizontal-thumbnail":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-400x300.jpg","vertical-thumbnail":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-400x480.jpg","Home Bottom-2 columns":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-375x330.jpg","Home Bottom-3 columns":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-365x300.jpg","Home Bottom-4 columns":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-265x200.jpg","Home Bottom-6 columns":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-150x150.jpg","Home-flexible":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-564x263.jpg","portfolio":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-365x250.jpg","related":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman-235x175.jpg","home-carousel-image":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman.jpg","full":"https:\/\/ahrf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman.jpg","index":23,"video":false,"opts":{"caption":"DPC_1016_Flying-Dutchman<\/strong>\n\nAl Vander Woude was trained as a Seabee, a process that honed his mechanical abilities.
