OT - Frank Sanders '63 Bakersfield drag races.

Hi everybody. Been a while since I posted but I stumbled across this today and had to have it. I was reading through the info on the back and came across Frank Sanders name. I'm assuming it is the Frank Sanders we all would think of first?

I've wondered if it's our Frank Sanders as well. If so, here's my favorite car of his:

1963 Z-11

I think it is him. Guys like Sanders and Zeuschel started in drag racing then moved on to even bigger adrenaline producing sports like air racing. Pic here,

More mentions of Frank, who was from Arizona, in this Arizona drag racing page:

I noticed Zueschel's name in there as well, working with Tom Ivo. Lots great names in there. It's really a cool album to listen to. I'm glad I bought it.

Don't forget Greenamyer, Ralph Payne, Leroy Penhall, Randy Scoville....a lot of the air racer guys did other forms of motorsports, and did them very well.

I know Greenamyer's top fueler has been restored, I wonder who has the Dago Red top fuel car.

When we were kids, AAFO member Boomtown had the poster of the two Dago's.

Still looking for that FTR poster and my Dago 8x10 signed by Rick Brickert.

I'd be amazed if it wasn't still around.

The Dago Dragster team was sold to Dan Pastorini in or around 1984. He couldn't fit in the car so he kept the transporter and support equipment and the car was sold to Eddie Hill. I don't know what Eddie did with the car.
