Theme Tuesdays: Gassers - Part 1 - Stance Is Everything

Dec 4, 2012

Starting out purely as a way to put more power to the ground the gasser stance is easily one of the most iconic and recognisable in all of Motorsport and going this long without doing a Theme Tuesday dedicated to another one of the many pioneers of stance is almost sacrilegious on my part.

Thankfully with some contributions from Ollie, pictures I had on hand, and a few bookmarks, pulling this one together didn’t take all that long.

Some of you might not get the appeal but those that do will enjoy.

I see this car quite a bit as the owner runs a tattoo shop near my house

Been awhile since I’ve seen this one though

From the SEMA roll-out post about a week ago

gasser_2 — Makes me want to go edit the photo above a little warmer

gasser_4 — Ford Thames Gasser from Japan

gasser_6 — Probably one of the last cars I ever expected to see like this

gasser_flyingdutch — Altered wheebase/gasser hybrid?

gasser_20 — I thought about not including this due to the forward rake but it’s just too damn good looking

gasser_5 — Widest front tires of this entire post

gasser_12_willys — Barracuda Gasser from Speed Hunters Eagle Field Coverage

gasser_11 — I have to make sure to attend one of the local nostalgic drags next year

gasser_17 — With everything deemed unimportant stripped these cars got the front wheels up pretty easy

gasser_19 — Drivers eyes almost look shocked

gasser_18 — Vintage wheelie Theme Tuesday still in the works…

gasser_21 — I honestly can’t recall if I have posted this before but it is one of the best photos I have ever seen

If you want to read a little more about Gassers and the car that apparently started it all check out this awesome article over on the Amazo Effect that really set this post into motion.
