Sweet! I love front engine cars, thats how a dragster is supposed to look. Just make sure you have that blower tied down!

That is the proper, classic look...exhaust in your face, your nuts resting on the pumpkin, ankles tight on the bellhousing. It does look right but safety won out.

That's a killer truck and FED. I don't know much about dragsters but I have had the pleasure to do some restoration work on an old Tom Hanna dragster the Spirit of St. Louis from the 60's. Talk about amazing craftsmanship. Just a beautiful chassis. I would never drive one, too much to explode between your legs!
