Bob Snow, Jr., took this photo at Ubly Dragway in 1965. I have many unpublished photos of famous drag cars from 1966 to 1978 from Tri-City Dragway in Saginaw, Michigan. I worked at Tri-City Dragway (Division 3) as the starter and in the tech department. I have collected old drag racing information, pictures, drag cars, parts and memorabilia for over 30 years! Many of the parts are now on the correctly restored drag cars across the country. There is a great group of people that have been doing this long before the "get-rich-quick Johnny come latelys" showed up in the past 10 to 15 years. These guys have a real passion for this and they know who they are, I sure do!
