Welcome to NW Drag Pics . com | |
|---|---|
| I created Northwest Dragster Pictures (www.nwdragpics.com) as a site for display of hundreds of pictures I took at drag races in the 1960s. I was just a kid and didn't have formal training or expensive equipment but knew some racers so had pretty good access. The guy that ran the Deer Park strip, Orville Moe, gave me a season pass and told his folks to let me wander around as long as I didn't put myself or anyone else in danger. Of course these were the days before everybody had a cell phone camera and before everybody got concerned about liability issues. So, there are B&W and color pictures and a few 8mm movie clips from Deer Park Drag Strip, WA; Arlington, WA; Lions Drag Strip, CA and a few other places. I scanned a bunch but then got sidetracked. Seems like there is never enough time. If you want to see more, let me know. In addition to these old film images, I've uploaded photos from some car events I've been attending.If you want a quality rescan and print of anything you see, I will do taht for you at reasonable prices to help defray my costs. Send me an e-mail if you are interested greg.staples@outlook.com Thanks Greg Staples |
