This car did say "RUSSO" in the side but most of the letters fell off on the previous runs that day

I probably have heaps of stuff kicking around in an old album, but for now I have these on the PC.
I also have a video of this car running n 8.99 and pulling some cool wheelies. The sound in the top end is to die for. It's 'mov' format, so if someone can convert and throw on YT, send me a PM. Perhaps my favorite ever drag car. Anyway, enjoy.....

Fantastic thread!!
In fact it jogged my memory that I had a few rolls of old super 8 film from mid 70's of Calder drags. So... I sent them off to Trans-Image for conversion to DVD. Disc arrived back yesterday and it has some great old footage of the likes of Ian Splatts dragway altered, Canned Heat (was it Cowin?), Jungle Jim, Tony Thorton's VW, Carrack camaro, etc, etc... AND an incredible high speed top fuel crash with a black top fueler running through, and disintegrating Larry (Big O) Ormsby's rail. How he walked away is amazing! My problem is... How do I download this to here??.. It's about 14-15mins total.
