1965 Tow Vehicle
I thought some of you would like to see a throw back type of photo. This is my buddy, Brian Wilson's 65 C-10. He used his truck as the tow vehicle for my funny car at Speedworld Drag Strip in Arizona this past weekend.

Re: 1965 Tow Vehicle
Thanks! We weren't able to make the clutch adjustments we wanted (data logger wasn't working), so the car only ran 7.20s et.

vin63,
Thanks for the post & the link. I definately plan on making it down to Steve Barcak's Pontiac Heaven meet one of these days. I can't believe how many Pontiac People are on this site. Here's a couple pics of our 62 Catalina. Complete with 50 year old interior & steering wheel. I used to park cars in San Francisco for a living many years ago, I can still park them close. |
