New guy from Norway..
Permalink  
 

Hi Ontario rodders, 

I have been into cars and motorcycles since i was old enough to earn my own money. Well, it started earlier. Have been to dragraces since i was a little kid, and always reading hotrod magz when the other kids had Donald Duck.

For the moment I own a Harley that i built myself, a Fiat 600 dragrace project in progress, a few Ford Populars, and i recently bought a Front engine dragster. The last one is actually the reason i have signed up here, as it was owned by a Canadian guy, and now im trying to find out who it was. I was hopeing someone in here can help. 

 

Thanks, 

Marius

Welcome Marius to Ontario Rodders.  I see the name  "Snake Bit" on the side.  Does the chassis have any stamped numbers anywhere or markings? These may help I D your Dragster. Do you know what area it came from?

 Sorry for the delay I work in the oil patch so my connection is spotty at best,I'm on my way home for some r&r and I will get you that info. My last name is spelt Haugen I hear there are a few in the phone book around there! I really like your car,I would go to lots of races in the Seattle  area as a kid and have never got over how the driver hangs his privates over the diffdisbelief and launch at some rudiculis rpm, not something I could do!

Hey Marius have you found any info on your car? Looks like a few posts may have it for you. My grandpa came from a small farming community called Guldbransdalen, our friends from Oslo went out for a drive and took a video of the area,it showed an big area of fields so I guess it never took off as far as population goes. He then moved the family to Northfron norway before loading the clan on a boat and settling in the US.

No, nothing yet..

 

Where in Guldbrandsdalen? And whats the family last name Randy?

I have relatives there, as my mother was born and raised there. Its an old family, and i think my uncle (wich btw was one of the first ever to import musclecars to the community) has tracked it down to the 1700`s. A few moved to USA in late 1800`s or early 1900 if i remember correct.
