I drove down to Sacramento one weekend for the Bug-In.
Snapped some pics near the end of the quarter mile of this 10 second bug

A second or two later and it went airborne, doing several endos just past the trap lights

Again awesome pix.  Way behind the bike at the right is a flat black bug with rivearas on the front. That is Martin Douse, that car later was painted green, got michelle wheels and turbo motor and ran 10.70's at 125mph up at Ashcroft. We very excited when mission was about to open again but the car has never run since Ashcroft and sits in his garage to this day.
