Fantastic! Amazing amount of history. Scary how many I remember running. The old Match Race circuit was quite the show, hooked many young kids on drag racing forever.

Thanks for the link!

wow, i just spent an hour looking at the chevy portion of the link. ill have to go back in tomorrow and move into the pontiac pics.

cann some one explain the 1965 nova bodies in FX (Alan Green) that had the fast back body. it looks as though someone integrated a 66 satelite roof line onto a nova shell?

thanks
Ian

There is a feature in the Feb. issue of Drag Racer magazine that details the history of the fastback Novas built by Bill Thomas back in the day...

Yes, it is a great site. I was one of those who mentioned this site before. It is such an awesome site that it should be mentioned multiple times. I have been tracking this site since june of last year. My last count (1/3/14) shows almost 2300 pictures and not one of them is boring. Yes there are some duplicates, but if you love early drag racing this site is for you.

A great site for those of us that have been around for awhile. A lot of the pictures bring back good memories of "old" friends and of the baddest of the bad back in the day. Thank you.

:):):) Quick update - - I did a quick check yesterday and there are now over 2500 pictures. I usually do an update once a month. This site will give you hours of fun if you stop to look at every picture and enjoy the memories, as I have done several times over the past 8 months.

Just checked this morning and this site is continuing to grow. Now over 2700 pictures. If you haven't been there before, you need to see this site. You can literally spend hours looking at the pictures and remembering what it was like. ---- www.georgeklass.net

My website has kept me going since I first uploaded it onto the internet (March 2013). The site has been "live" for over 9 years now. I still try to add photos on a weekly basis, or as soon as I find one that has not been uploaded before. A little background regarding the site. I wanted a site that people could visit without paying, or having to become a "member". I never solicited adds, although many companies have offered me plenty of money if I did (which I never did). I never tried to offer the photos for sale. I never have a problem if people want to copy the photos. From the very beginning, I had a cut-off of 1965 for the photos. To the extent possible, I have tried to NOT use photos that were taken after 1965. It's actually not that hard to keep new photos (taken after 1965) off the site. If the car has wheels that were not produced until the late 1960's or later, I don't use them.. Same with hood scoops. It's easy to tell hood scoops that did not exist in the 1960's. And then there is the background. If there are EZ-Up pop up tents in the pits, the photos do not make the cut (EZ-Ups were not invented until late in the 1970's). If the cars parked in the pits are later model cars, the photo does not make the cut. If the guard rails are the new concrete style, the photo does not make the cut. The same goes for the trailers or motor homes. To the extent possible, I have tried to exclude photos of race cars that were "cloned" to look like early race cars. For all practical purposes, all the race cars on the site are photos of "the real thing". I get emails from all over the world (geoklass@yahoo.com). A lot of folks ask me if I make any money off the site, and answer is not one single dime. If people want to send me digital photos of race cars that you think should be in there, please feel free to do it via my email, or if you just want to chat, that's fine too. I'm 83, and messing around on my website keeps my brain working...
