Photos in the “National Drag Races - Great Bend KS - Late 1950's” Album

Album photo
Description: I recently found some photos my dad took in his late teens at the SRCA Drag Strip in Great Bend KS. I've included the descriptions he wrote on the back of some of the photos, at around age 17. The Dragstrip at Great Bend is considered to be the birthplace of the NHRA.
