Boy...are you guys gonna love these shots. When Dave Ray (AA/FC 423) wasn't shoeing a fuel-burning funny car for Big Mike Burkhart and others, he was shooting some great pix in the pits.
By the way, here's Dave's website. Looks like they carry some nice stuff!
Okay...let's get started:

The C/Gas Revenuer. I'm guessing Opel. Name appears to be
"Wright"
Received the following on 25 Feb 2004: |
| Just happened upon your
website with the AA/GS and the B/G . One of the Opels called the Revenuer is
an Opel 1900 series owned by Max Hall. It won Best Engineered Car at the 1974
Winternationals in C/G. I was pretty sure it was the car and so I got into my
files and retrieved the info on it. Loved your site , brought back a lot of
memories. Norm Paddack Builder of the above mentioned car. |

The little back-motored VW's and a few Fiats tended to rule the H/Gas and I/Gas classes by the late 60's and early 70's, displacing the larger 6-cylinder cars that had previously held those classes. |

3 Unknown Street Roadsters. Anyone got any names for these? Got an e-mail from Bill Duke who remembers seeing all 3 of these cars at Pomona in 1972, but doesn't know who they belonged to. He tells me that #2 was from Ohio and had a destroked hemi, and that #3 was a Southern California car. Ring any bells for ayone? |
