BRIAN is trying to track down a large stash of DRAG TIMES in Ct. IF Anybody has 61-76 Drag Times …older Eastern Drag News Or ?…Let us know….This kind of find would solve a LOT of Questions and help everything from History Page …Give Name Rememberances and more.
Does anyone have the old drag news papers that used to list results from 1967?…
Isn’t all that stuff available on CD-ROM…???
>>>Probably Not …Depends If Co is still in Bus. Most Not Except Natl’ Dragster….and If they “bothered “to do it ..BUT How ’bout somebody Digging DEEP into Library Of Congress orMajor Librarys ??? See this on TV when P.I. types look for old newspaper stuff. Jack Redd of Drag Times says he sold all back copies to a guy that doesn’t reply to e-mails or phone back : http://www.goydaracing.com and doesn’t list on his site. Looks like we have to actually FIND the real old stuff in someones possession.?

Gary & I had a collection of Eastern Drag News going back to 64, up to probably 68 or 69. Several years ago Gary gave a bunch of them to Mike Duffey ( old super stock/funny car collector). I haven’t seen the rest of them since w moved to Ky last year. Hopefully they made the trip, unlike it appears, our old photo’s didn’t.

I don’t know who posted that stuff where I changed to the color red… I didn’t… and I thought only Dino could do that.
I know that the west coast Drag News is available on CD, that’s why I thought of it.
