I was six years old when garlits ran the first successful rear engine top fuel dragster. Now a rear engine dragster is a nostalgic piece. My God I feel old. Oh well, thanks for sharing.

How is a rear engine dragster a nostalgic piece when it’s been that way since Garlits in 71? Front end short wheel base slingshots are nostalgic.

Don or crew. Alcohol to nitro question. What size line are you using to feed the methanol into the hat? AND are you using a nozzle to distribute it inside the blower or just the hose size?
