      I'm 55, the son of the photographer. I only have his stories, my memories, these photos and an occasional check on Bill Pratt's Drag List to put some facts to the photos. If you were there and know something we don't please take a little time to respond and let me know what I got wrong. Everyone would appreciate it I'm sure. I did have one typo pointed out by someone regarding the Boston Shaker of Kosty Ivanof where I accidentally type Strangler. The Boston Strangler was Arnie Karp.

      Couldn't agree more. That's why I'm sharing my Dad's photos. He captured the time well using different angles and settings on his Minolta camera. A lot of the cars had great names. Wish they would have carried that on to the modern era.

      My Dad worked (and raced) at Maple Grove and always kept his trusty camera around. He snapped a lot of the cool angles and shots from the starting line because of his job he had access. He'd be happy to know more folks are enjoying the memories.

    Hi I caught 1 mistake. Kosti Ivonoff ran "The Boston Shaker " F/C.

    • @grovergroover
      @grovergroover 5 дней назад

      Thanks! Good catch! Arnie Karp was the driver of the Boston Strangler. Some times the brain and the keyboard aren't in synch! I'll fact check myself this time...my fingers threw in an extra F. Ivanof is the way he spelled it.

      @grovergroover Месяц назад

      It was a flag drop no-time race which was an 1/8 mile I believe. At the other track on Sunday it ran over a 100 in the eighth.

      🧙‍♂️-- ah, the good ol daze, No space age computers be, just dual points + high output coil " Mallory " Good intake + exhaust of your choice, headers a hassle, stock ex. manifold much better for reliability, noise ect. Maybe a cam upgrade and anti pump up hydraulic lifters " stay away from solid lifters, too much adjustments too often! ( I'm talking about a good running street car here-- not an all out dragster ) And a slipper clutch on your radiator fan, not solid to water pump for less drag.👍👌🤠
