I Drag raced from 1980 thur 1997 and quit to go boating. Ran the pro/mod match race circuit mostly east of the Mississippi, from Michigan to Florida.

The 10.5 class is sickening when you think about it.

Re: Boaters Into Classic Cars/Drag Racing??
that 41 willys is the bomb, i think those are the coolest old hot rods period. with the short wheel base they were a handful to drive!
