This is Wes Jerde from Kansas City. Thanks to Steve DeTar for identifying it for me.

"Seaton's Super Shaker" was a big name funny car.

I know it's not a funny car, but this bike was there the same day. Anyone know who it belonged to? The tow car says it's class is "B/Gas Open Bike." Notice the rear tire isn't what you would expect on a modern drag bike. Motor cycle slicks weren't very easy to come by in those days. I think Avon in England was the only manufacturer so they were pretty few and far between
