Wow! Somehow I missed this before. Any history on this 55/56?

(Maybe some day I will dive in and go for the nose-up look ...)

The blue car is definitely RHD as it's Australian. Until quite recently LHD was not allowed in most states. com.au is the Aussie equivalent of .com, hence the website dragster.com.au

Ed Hedricks wagon. Some of you old timers may recall the name from the B/SP World Champion Cobra he ran back in '67 or his time driving for Bill Jenkins in '68. Ive had the pleasure of talking with Ed while writing the Grumpys Toys book. He's still out there enjoying himself in a 10.50  '68 Nova.

I didn't get a picture but there was really nice 71 or 72 Lemans racing tonight at Race City in Calgary. It launched hard, lifting the left front wheel, and ran an 11 sec quarter.

If you like Chevys, there was also a blue and silver 55 Bel Air 2 dr ht that looked stock and was very fast.

Do you think that the Bonneville hardtop in the near lane got bumped a class lower due to weighing more than the Chieftain sedan in the far lane?

Note that the 330 hP on the fender means one of the NASCAR special high performance tri-power motors.

I guess I should ad a picture of my 61 Pontiac.
The best ET so far is 10.43 @ 128 mph.
Here's a link to some videos I took. I don't know how to edit yet so there's a bunch of different runs on the first video.

This is a shorter in car video. You can scroll ahead to about the midway point.

My 55. ran an 11.83 @ 111.11 on a poor tune. Got it together for last meet of the year. Canadian Pathfinder, original stainless delete on sides and around front and rear windows but some added the stainless to them. We made all the brackets etc for the r&p. Currently running a 462 Pontiac with an Wenzler with 2 holley 660s on it
