Hi ALL GHRers.....

A friend of mine is a photographer who attends a LOT of drag races & he especially likes to go to the "Nostalgia Drag Racing Event.

Practically everyday he sends a picture he calls "Gasser of the Day".

I thought I would post them here for everyone here to also enjoy.

IF you would like I could post the pictures here as best as I can keep up with doing so??????

Enjoy..... I do !!!!!! :cool:

I used to think a hot rod had pristine paint and I wouldn’t give to much attention to a primer or matte finish paint on a Hotrod. Not so anymore. Flat paint primer whatever is way cooler than glossy paint. Unless you’re big daddy roth. So I posted this to show HOTRODs don’t have to be shiny.

Actually there were a few Maverick gassers that ran in the early '70's. Before Pro Stock really killed them. Along with the Darts and Novas.

Hey Vall

I'll bet a dollar to a doughnut the scatter shield was one of the old two piece cast iron 'Wedge' Mfg. type that were used before the introduction of the hydroformed steel ones. I don't even know if those old cast iron units are still legal. Didn't Chevy also offer 4:56 gears as an option for their 12 bolt rear end equipped cars?

I was pretty sure the 12 bolt was available in 1964 so I checked. Rectangle Font Circle Paper Paper product
They were definitely available in 1965 because Chevy had to have a differential to handle the HP & torque of the new 1965 SS 396 Chevelle.

I think the only way you'd ever find any '64 with a 12 bolt would be if it was a factory race car. I've never heard of or seen a '64 year car with a 12 bolt, even in the factory high performance cars. The old rear axle ran from 1955-'64, and even in Super Stock cars was the standard.
