The owner of the red '61 Impala was checking out my '62. And I said no way in hell I would put wheels on it like he has.

That frame off restored 1962 SS 409 sold at Mecum Indy 2013 for $74,000 - I was there and on the auction block with the seller. It was nearly identical to my 1962 SS 409 that I frame off restored and still have today..

For a moment I thought that was Denver in the background and had a thought to recreate the shot one day.
That's probably LA in the background. That's a fair bit more than an hour drive.

“Instead of burning out, the driver was all hooked up and headed right at me,” Pomona helper Nick Paciuilli recalled 48 years after his painful 1976 Winternationals. “My last memory was jumping over the front axle. My hip evidently hit the right side of his engine, knocking out my wallet [pictured midair, ahead of the injectors]. That inertia threw me onto the spinning right-rear tire, which threw me up in the air. I came to on my back. No broken bones. I did receive severe body trauma and a blue officials’ jacket from NHRA with my name embroidered.” Veteran freelancer Jim Phillipson, working the starting line atop a ladder, somehow turned, focused, and fired in time to create a career photo.
