Quick Release Steering Hub

(1/2) > >>

1916Racer:
I have a 1959-60 98 inch Dragmaster I'm restoring. Was there a type of Quick Release Steering Hub used on Dragsters back during this time. If people were making their own would anyone have a picture of one. It's a tight squeeze fitting in this thing, but I want to keep it period correct. Thanks Charles.

Paul New:
I would say no drivers were the skinniest guy at the track typically at least from the pics I have seen.... Lol to young to have been around

BK:
Not sure what your wheel looks like. Sometimes if you turn them 90 degrees it will make it easier to get in.

This question brought something to mind. It was awhile ago at some race whilst looking around pits there was this car Altered or dragster ??? , cant recall. But I vividly remember the wheel up on cowl.  It had a socket welded to it and there was either a Hex head screw or some hex stock welded to steering shaft.
People now would go what a hack , but that is just the way it was back then. There was no Summit or Jegs, Cheap Chinese parts. Internet. cell phones  :) ;) :D ;D

good luck keep us up to date.
Luke

I first raced in 1966 and it was a long time before I saw anyone who had a quick release wheel. Even the circle track cars in those days had fixed wheels and the driver had to figure out how to work his way around it.
