Title: Non-Gun Gearhead Detour
Post by: PegLeg45 on March 26, 2013, 02:01:53 PM

After an over indulgence of the day's news, a brief pause was in order..... and there just happened to be a post on FB from the NHRA with the below video....... thought it was cool...... some of you on here enjoy cars/tech/horsepower/speed etc.........

Soooo....

From one "horsepower-speed freak-nitro junkie" to any of the the rest of you who might like fast things:

Local gearhead I'm antiquated with built this.  Google twice blown delivery.
He also built the hemi Motorcycle next to it and a propeller driven trike.

I've only held a passing interest in drag racing.  Though Dandy Don Garlits was only a hop-skip-jump north from where I lived.

I think though that if Danica were to take up the sport there might be more interest...by some...I'm just saying.
