(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/i>I\u2019ve said before its hard to categorize cars into specific genres and this group is one of the hardest. \u00a0\u00a0You will notice over several of my articles I have featured the Straight-Axle Mafia cars. \u00a0These guys share a love and interest for these kinds of cars and racing. \u00a0They put on a pretty good show too. \u00a0You can definitely see a domination by Falcons and Comets, but there\u2019s plenty of other models that make the scene. \u00a0I have never seen the Green rear-engine funny car run, but it\u2019s got to be a wild ride. \u00a0The Good Vibrations tudor is sporting a new, blown mill that should drop those ETs a good bit.<\/p>\n

We also manged to meet up with a pair of cars we\u2019d admired before and now have got to know their owners a bit. \u00a0Steve Todd and Rick Rusk are old school car guys and their friendship goes back to their school days. \u00a0Steve has the copper \u201957 Jr Stocker and Rick has the tunnel-rammed, black and gold \u201955 Gasser. \u00a0We\u2019re hoping for a photo shoot of them in the near future and perhaps bring some other stuff into the fold as well.<\/p>\n

Enjoy these throwbacks to days past.<\/p>\n
