I remember hearing about that. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

This is a tad bit off topic, but has the name "FUJIMO" ever crossed your path?

No, not at all. Many moons ago, around 59-60, there was a drag racing team from St. Louis, maybe East St. Louis, and the name of the car was "Fujimo". Lower class maybe B or C dragster, my memory is not that good. Anyway, just wondered if you had ever run across it.

No wasn't into anything much unless it went in circles. I was pretty fascinated with Danny Millers Maverick bodied funny car when he would come visit the 3 gals that lived across the street from my parents house. I'm a thinkin that car was called "Plastic Fantastic" ???? Think I was about 15 or 16 and those 3 gals where probally more interesting than the car at the time !

I hear you on that. A mutual friend of ours, tech, snagged an LP I believed called sounds of the drag strip or something like that and I ended up with it. The cover has a picture of the "Fujimo" dragster on it and if I can find it I'll post the picture.
