That's dad sedan delivery. It was taken by mom on a Sunday afternoon at Kinston Drag Strip. I'm at the front putting that towel over those 2-4's with my younger brother on my side. I was probably showing him the "ropes" . He doesn't look too interested in his older brother telling him how to keep the dirt out of those carbs. lol. Dad is sliding those ramps in chewing on his cigar. He always had one in his mouth...especially while driving the race cars. Wonderful memories.

Am I the only one that noticed the old street racers trick of using some sort of water tank behind each rear wheel so you drop water on the road and back into it for a burnout?

Knew one guy who put them in the front of the wheels, went thru the finish line sideways.......kool !

Oh, yes kiddies we didn't have water boxes back then....couldn't train the T-Rex to carry the water bowl.

Jim, I was looking at that old photo when I posted it and noticed that as well...you could also have added some 'bleach' in the holding tank and do some nice smoky burnouts, an old street racers trick.
