The Wichita Drag Wagon dragster was the brainchild of Duane Rose and Lloyd Davis. They decided to make the switch from a 1948 Mercury flathead to this 1956 Pontiac set-up with Potvin stick and four stromberg carbs providing the breathing. It won over 25 trophies, and was one the rare engine set-ups running at the time.
Monte Carlo, Mille Miglia, Nurburgring . These are the deadliest curves, filled with the legends of motorcycles, machines and immortality. Join me for a tour of the giants of racing, from 1896 through the 1960's, and their pictures and stories. Blood, victory, defeat and courage; often in the same race.
