Default Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........

I just looked at the photos of "The Farmer" and a few things come to mind.
1st- I'm gonna dig around with some of my nostalgia buddies and see if they remember that name; I do not. "Jim's Automatic" kind of rings a bell.
2nd- the sponsor on the front fender "Racing Parts &Machine Co." was THE place to buy race stuff and have engines built in and around north Baltimore. They were located on Joppa Rd. in a rural area. A little outside of Balto. to the south was Coleman Brothers.
3rd- in the B/W pic in post #608867 at Aquasco, the opponent is Carl Hobbs a.k.a. "Super Fats". Hobbs had a few fast Camaros and did a whole lot of local stuff. He still has a gas station in Edgemere, MD, although I think his son my be running it. Not sure if any of his old cars survived.
