Photos by Tim Hanaseth


I met Tim a while back at Bakersfield at the CHRR.  I was impressed with the quality of many of his shots and asked if he'd send me a few for you to enjoy.  He not only came up with a number of cool recent shots, but managed to pull out a series of shots from his first drag race in 1968 at Irwindale.  Too cool!  Thank you Tim.

Irwindale, 1968

I haven't been able to make out the name on this car, and I don't remember it.  Anyone?
Steve Korney's "Goldfinger" A/GS Anglia
Herrera & Son's A/GS Austin
KS Pittman's 33 Willys A/GS
The "Football" A/GS Austin of "Big John" Mazmanian.
One of the early outings of Skip Hess' "Revell Kit" A/GS Mustang.
Okay...this one really threw me.  This car is the old "Shores & Hess/Skipper's Critter" A/GS Anglia.  The problem is, that Skip never realized that the car was even at this particular meet.  (All these photos were taken the same day) and there were a number of changes to the car that Skip pointed out (rear wheelwell cut, huge parachute, "Jardine Headers" on the fender, etc.)

We finally figured that this must have been after Jim Shores sold the car to the Pittman Bros and before the top was chopped.  I had thought that Jim chopped the top prior to selling it, but???

At any rate, we are both a bit confused by these photos.  Anyone out there have any info about this?

The "Blue Fox" Camaro Funnycar.  I don't remember who ran this.  Anyone?

Well, thanks (again!) to Bill Duke for reminding me that this was Norm Cowdry's car (Check out the Modified Sports Cars page for a pic of his Healey).  It was a decent runner too,  with it's Chrysler motor.
