Grand Bend Dragstrip 1965






Many many thanks to Peter Wouters from Williams, AZ who contributed these pictures and articles. Peter was one of he first to race at Grand Bend Dragway back in 1965 with George Gray from London in a A/G Supercharged 1940 Willys Coupe named "Ramblin Woes."
Peter and George set a new Canadian record in '65 when they took the street eliminator class with a 10.46 ET at 135.12 MPH

Just back from the drags - Waaay back!


A really old B&W picture of the Bad Hombre coming home from a day of racing . too bad the picture wasn't in colour and showed the '66 Ford wagon that was towing it. - 40 years later it's sitting in the garage collecting dust.

Steve Evans' 1957 Ford Custom 300 Gasser


Some stats: 292 Y-block with 312 heads built, Isky cam (lopey), Fordomatic tranny, 4 core rad with 6 blade cooling fan. Demon carb, MSD ignition with hidden kill switch. 4 point roll cage, straight axle (with GM bits incl. disc brakes), stock front suspension mounts shaved, frame boxed, fabbed headers with caps into 3" Flowmasters out the rear, all done by a old Sacramento drag racer. Custom rear shock mounts with off-road shocks. 7X15 rears, 4X15 front Cragar SS's. Old school racing seat belts. Battery in trunk, electric fuel pump under driver side rear fender. Ford 9" out back with 3.92 (that'll change) and a bumper sticker that reads "One Less Bicycle".

In the works is the '63 big block Ford 406 motor (Ford in a Ford is the only way) in my basement with a B&M C6, fiberglass tilt hood, paint and minor bodywork and I go back and forth on radiusing the rear fenders.

Recently christened her the "Wreckin' Ball".
