As part of the overall Concours event there were several special exhibits, one catching my interest was a selection of professional drag cars from the 1960’s. This represented a time when the factory was starting an effort to sponsor independent racers and the term “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” was taking

form. Also, starting were the factory horsepower wars in which lightweight cars and increasing their horsepower was the way to win. Aluminum body panels and drilled out frames were the rage as well as “factory packaged” race cars ordered from the factory like the Chevy Z-11. Enjoy the Pics!
