There were a lot of people that knew Lonnie Butts, an old drag racer from the sixties. Lonnie Butts was a classic Southern California, early '60 racer. People that knew Lonnie would agree that a nicer man would be hard to find. If there was someone that needed help at the track, Lonnie was there for them and that is what people will probably remember most about him.
Consider his 1962 A/Comp, supercharged Chrysler Hemi-powered dragster. Note that while his et was only 10.70, his top speed was 141.73mph. That indicates that the supercharged Hemi was making plenty of power but it was probably going up in smoke due to slicks that weren't much more than street tires without any tread. Drag racing has always been about chasing after an "edge" that can come from anywhere from the hood scoop to slicks and wheelie bars. |
Here's what the print looks like in one of our 16" x 20" poster frames.
