    Gonna guess on this one:

    Jim and Diane Dunn?
    George and Ruth Hoover? (doesn't look like them, so I don't this is them)
    Jim and Alison Lee? (same as Hoovers, doesn't look like them, so prolly no)

    It's got to be around 1963 - guessing that's a Dragmaster chassis...maybe it's a little later, given the length of the car, but at most it's 1965?

    Tough one for me...

    I got it!

    Bobby and Ruth Langley - Scorpion AA/FD...the wings led me to the answer!

    It's a Garlits chassis, the pic is at Lions - 1965

    Out of curiosity - anyone you know own a "cackle" car? Man, I would love to have a vintage dragster, even with "local" provenance...I see a bunch of guys my age are building backyard diggers with that old style (see Brian Fox's 'Zorba's Ghost') - awesome stuff!

    Not many raced a fueler that long that I can think of.

    Chris Karamesines? (doesn't look like his cars)
    Don Garlits? (I know it's not him)
    Connie Kalitta? (Nope)
    Tommy Ivo? (No)
    Don Prudhomme? (switched to funnys - and that's not him anyway)

    This one is tough - any other hints? Must be a cackle car looking at the last photos...

    Coil still turning the wrenches today with John Force...gotta admire him.

    Color Me Gone - that's Roger Lindamood, although I remember the Cuda version with blue paint the most.

    and note - that's the "full bodied" Charger...after an accident attributed to the body's width, the later Chargers were smaller - hence the name "Mini-Charger".
