Correct, it's Jerry Lackey at Hanau/Germany. Here some more shots:


Ok Ole, but do you mind if I am telling you that I have no clue who Jerry Lackey is?  :-\

What is he doing? What did he do?

OK, short lesson in History of German Dragracing:

Jerry "Big Daddy" Lackey was one of the Pioneers of dragracing in Germany.



The first "race" in Germany took place at Ramstein Airbase in 1969, some month later at Erlensee Airbase.



The first HARA (Hanau Auto Race Association) timing system...







Another car of Jerry (1976). Not really Cal -Look, but it has da stance... looks like 13" in front.



Jerry Lackey later raced the Patriot Jet Dragster. The car is today raced by Ulrike Golde



Jerry is still involved in drag racing today, he's a member of the DMSB dragrace department. The only permanent dragstrip in Germany (MZA-Luckau) bears the name "Jerry Lackey Raceway"

Saludos,
Ole
