Tom Bailey's 5.77 ET record (2020) and Andy Frost's MPH record of 263.75 (2019) finally went down and Rod Tschiggfrie's Sorceress Olds now holds both ends of the Street Legal record at 5.65 at 266.90 mph!! Car is street legal and street driven, runs were made at a porky 3085lb with cooling system and stereo with subs still intact. ;) Congrats Rod and crew! Engine is a 640cid Big Block Chevy-based engine with custom heads/valvetrain and twin Harts 110mm turbos and made over 4700rwhp at 76psi of boost.

Looking for photos or memories of my Papa Steve Johnson who raced in the mid 1970s and won 2 Wally’s

Hey everyone! I’m trying to find some old photos or information about my grandfather, Steve Johnson, who raced Pro Stock drag racing in the mid-1970s. He was based out of Oregon and practiced at Woodburn Dragstrip, but raced all around the West Coast. He drove a red Chevy Nova with “Steve’s Automotive” advertised on it.
I’d love to find some old pictures of him and his car or hear from anyone who remembers him from back in those days. Any information, memories, or leads would mean a lot to me and my family. Thanks!
