Fast and cool, I'll check it out in Hot Rod.

It takes real balls to drive a doorslammer of any kind that fast. Amazing watching any shorter wheelbase car that's any faster than about 8 seconds in the 1/4 IMHO. Those cars are a handful to drive.

A few years ago we had a French foreign exchange student from Forbach,France. He wanted to know what was so special about driving a dragster or drag racing, he said that it must be easy.

It's anything but easy.

Moran is amazing.

this past weekend on powerblock the guys from horsepower went to a old school drig event that had the bantams, slingshots, and the nitro methanes running. it was freakin sweet to watch that. they feature a lot of those things on Pass Time too. they also showed an awesome straight axle car called shaky puddin... insane 56 running 10's.

God that's fast!

how did that even get traction?
