Old Picture recovered
« on: March 25, 2011, 09:31:26 am »
Found this old picture of the Zonker for the year I won I-Gas at the NHRA Summer Nationals (1972) at Englishtown.
Was looking at the thread for the upcoming Englishtown Show and Go and there it was. **^bana0  I had this photo but lost it a real oldie but goodie you wont see anymore.

Great picture that brings back memories! I think I remember see this car parked on the back of a cool Split Van at a VW Shop on Delsea Drive? I was just a young'in then, but I needed VW parts! for my '63 rag!

John I think the rules called for 8" minimum so thats what it would be and yes I did the chop.

Bob thats where my shop was, it was a Riggins Gas Station with 3 bays. till I bought my own place and moved about 1 mile south.

Bob I'm guessing 1100lbs.

I would have to try and find the class specks for a I-Gaser in the late 60s to know for sure.
