Thanks Mike, now all we need is Bruce to post and tell us if we are right or wrong. When I looked at
his profile yesterday he has never posted anything. 0 post's Found some pictures... Horner Bros. Alky Dragster
Mike do you know who this guy is, in this yellow Alky Dragster

Yep....in the late 60s, actually, I watched a green 1955 Chevy 2 door post make a pass (at Lions), running an injected BBC on nitro. I was told it was a regular on the SoCal circuit; some of you old-timers might remember it. If I recall, it ran in the 9.0/150mph range...pretty impressive for a doorslammer more than 50 years ago.

Can't remember the guy's name, never seen him before at the drags. Bin going to
Pacific Raceway since 1968 (8 years old)
Carl, I remember this car! It was painted green & had X/S (Experimental Stock) on the roof. My thought at the time was that car was too old to be considered A/FX or F/C, but it did run like stink. Wow, so I'm not the only one who remembers that car.
History - '55 Chevy Gasser "Green Seen"
I was wondering if anyone knew what happened to this one. I got this pic from the Gasser Madness site years ago, and have always thought it is a bad...

Can't believe I found this, but the 55 Chevy was called Green Seen. Photos in the link & you can enlarge & see the X/S on the roof. Wow.... didn't know these pics existed.
Neither did I....wow, that's it....that's amazing that we both remember that car. I can vividly recall the announcer (and I believe Larry Sutton was the starter at that time) describing the car...dunno if it was always an injected BBC on fuel but it was that evening. Wasn't long afterwards after my return to Texas that I got my first look at a true Funny Car pass (at Green Valley Raceway), courtesy of the Burkhart/Schmidt Camaro, which was a blown fuel car. Theyneeded the blower just to haul Big Mike Burkhart - 400 pounds - down the track. It ran about as quick as one of today's Factory Stock Camaros but at the time I thought I was watching an Apollo launch. Those were the days !History - '55 Chevy Gasser "Green Seen"

There were a lot of really good Texas cars then. Drag On Vega, Big Mike Burkhart, Blue Max, Billy Meyer, Mexican Revolution, CKC, Brand X, just off the top of my head. I saw most of those cars at Lions early in the year, before they hit the road. I have family in College Station (they bleed Aggie maroon), and go there when I get a chance. Whoop.....
That is a wild car, I believe it's Mike Sullivan's, of AA/FA fame.

That 6.24 at 223.25 by Kin Bates that was a pretty good run back then.
