Photo Contest: Motorcycles to Dragsters

These are some of the entries for the Photo Contest. If you have not submitted your photos for a chance at the $100 Grand Prize, you still have until the end of April.

Above: Joe Goeke's 1999 Audi A4 1.8t Quattro 5-speed manual transmission. Joe bought the car during his senior year of high school, in original condition. Since then, he's put many hours to make it look like an Audi S4 (his dream car). After high school, Joe attended automotive trade school in Phoenix, AZ and had the Audi shipped there. The car won a few car shows in Ohio for best Audi. Alas, Joe had to sell the car in order to buy a 2000 Audi S4 Quattro 6-speed. Not a bad trade if you ask us. Dublin, OH.

Above: Who wants to have "His and Hers" bathrobes when you have a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport Hang 10 Edition (His), and 1976 Chevy Camaro Rally Sport (Hers). Both cars have been restored from the ground-up... twice, including a necessary resto after surviving the flood waters of Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Not many people have their first cars and still drive them, but Jim and Roberta Harvey of Gulf Breeze, Florida, do.

Above: Henry Tate of San Luis Obispo, California, sent us a photo of his 1969 Honda CB750 sand-cast #936 with Vetter Phantom 1700 fairing. Henry purchased the bike new in 1969, rode it for 4 years, and put on 105,000 miles on it (he also dropped it at least once, based on the photo —Ed.) Henry tells us the picture was taken somewhere in Mexico in the Spring of 1971.


Above: Jared Hellebusch's 1952 Chevrolet 6-cylinder, 3-speed, stock. Jared is in the process of restoring the Chevy. Memphis TN.

Above: Bill Gibson of Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada, sent us a photo of his 1984 Honda Magna VF30.



Above: Carla and Keith "Gunny" Grieves of Sutton Vermont, submitted a couple of pics of their first dragster, a 172" wheel base, front-engined monster. The dragster used to be a topfuel car owned by Powers and Riley. "WynnsWynner," as the car was then known, was sponsored by Wynns Automotive Products.

Gunny tells us, "When we ran her, she had a 302 cubic-inch blown injected on alcohol small-block Chevy. My team mate's car had an injected alcohol small-block Chevy and was a front engine dragster as well, our team name was Dangerous Toyz. We ran our cars at Indy one time for a Good Guys event which is where these pictures were taken. For the most part we ran at Lebanon Valley Dragway, NY, New England Dragway, NH, and Raceway Park Englishtown, NJ. We sold the car back in 2002 to a gentleman who was going to restore her back to her original WynnsWynner configuration."

The last pic is of Gunny's boat. No details as to how it does in the quarter mile.
