Even sitting still, the most interesting vehicles participating in the NHRA's 50th annual Winternationals might've been the 80 or so parked just outside of Pomona Raceway's jam-packed pit area.Even sitting still, the most interesting vehicles participating in the NHRA's 50th annual Winternationals might've been the 80 or so parked just outside of Pomona Raceway's jam-packed pit area. Although nothing on display in this Golden 50 Corral ever rivaled a modern, 8,000hp Top Fuel car for sheer shock and awesomeness, the cookie-cutter conformity of today's 1,000-foot spec racers becomes sadly apparent whenever they share space with the diverse creations that pounded pavement in the '60s, '70s, and even the '80s.inline_mediumwraptextright00Here's the Stone, Woods, and Cook Swindler II today. In the '60s, it was traded to a fiberglass maker, then sold to Joe Troilo in 1972. He made a street rod out of it, then swapped it to Mike Wale in the late '70s. Mike returned it to Joe in 2003, and a restoration to 1962 specs ensued. The car won the Preservation Award at Detroit Autorama in 2007.27614573/eventcoverage/hrdp_1006_29_drag_cars_from_the_50th_winternationa lshrdp_1006_01_o+29_drag_cars_from_the_50th_winter nationals+stone_wood_and_cooks_swindler_ii.jpgtrue
