I just click on "Manage Attachments", then "Choose File", then it goes to the files in my laptop. I double-click on the one I wanna post, then click on "Upload". And, if it's not too big and you haven't used that exact pic here before, it will post.
Here's the "Packin Pancho". IHRA allowed hood scoops, as well as different carbs on some of their SS classes. The older guys that raced IHRA will remember those rules, I'm sure. We saw this car close up, at the "World Nationals", held in Amarillo, TX. I think the year was either '75 or '76.
I went to this race back in '73. I think it was still an NHRA race then, and called the World Finals, maybe. It was my very first race where there were LOTS of Nitro cars. I remember standing on the crosswalk, during the nitro time trials. It was an awesome experience I'll never forget. All the big name TF & Funny Cars were there. The crosswalk was shakin, & there was lots of noise & nitro fumes. Loved it !
