Wayne Gapp and the Gapp & Roush Mustang II
Wayne Gapp sitting at the scales…waiting…
Terry Zimnickas sent me this image and I thought it was a pretty interesting.
I don’t know the original photographer for this image. If you know please let me know.
Wayne Gapp and the Taxi – Tom Nagy photo
This image was posted to the Facebook ‘Nostalgia Pro Stock’ group. It was taken in 1974 by Tom Nagy and it was taken at the Popular Hot Rodding Meeting at Martin, MI (US 131 Dragway).
The reason that I’m posting it is because I found the compelling because:
1. It’s a good looking race car
2. The car is being driven down a return road
I can’t imagine today’s $250k Pro Stock vehicles being seen doing this…that is driving back to the pits…over a dirt road no less.
Then again, today’s cars barely look like a ‘stock’ car, the vehicles have carbon fiber bodies, have incredibly high tech engines running…carburetors and are about as far from the origins of the class as they can be.

Nice picture! I love these type of ‘at speed’ pics.

Wayne Gapp and the Taxi – 76 Winternationals
This picture was taken at the 76 AHRA Winternationals at Beeline (Thanks Cary!). The Cragar Super Tricks are the give away that this was 1976.
What’s interesting is that most people think the ‘Taxi’ ran in one season: 1975. Nope.
Introduced mid-season 1974 and final NHRA race was 1976 NHRA Winternationals.
Anyone know who took this picture?

Nice side shot by Todd Wingerter @ Thompson.
That’s Bill Jameson on the left. I believe that Daryl Huffman sent me this image.
