I saw that dragster getting set up at the Autorama in Detroit yesterday. Looked super cool sitting with all the other nostalgia racers in Milan's nostalgia drag section. I'll have to take some pics.

One took off and almost immediately, his front started going up and shoot straight up into the air. He hanged in the air a few feet for a moment then came down on his head. A complete 180. I was told that was the first time my dad heard me swear. I thought it was sooooo cool until My dad explained how bad that guy could have been hurt. He ended up being ok though. Hats off to those who still run them. Crazy F'ers.

I didn't want to get rid of it, but it was not consitent enough to bracket race and there is not many nostalgia races aroud here. The car was only 140" wheel base and would trip the 60' on the rear tires. Every time I would make a pass in it I would get out and say what a ride. It was a adrenalien rush for sure.
