Racing together for fun

(1/1)

Mark Midler:
I completed my 1960 lookalike front engine dragster in 2011, it certified and has proven to be fun and reliable. If you want to see it go to Houston Kiteboarding Dragster, there's a video of the first time I ran the car. You have no doubt noticed that most tracks are concentrating on the full body classes to keep people coming in. I understand it, the general public just can't spend any time figuring out how bracket racing works, so the track owners push the classes that they can understand. This however leaves us dragster people out in the cold. What I have finally come up with is this, I built it for fun so why not find some others running similar cars and meet just to have fun.  This is short notice, but, I'm running at Grove Creek Raceway May 16. It is 5 miles west of Litchfield MN on hwy 12. It's a clean NHRA 1/8th mile strip, and getting better all the time. I don't care if you're faster or slower, it would just be nice to run against dragsters. If you have other questions give a call, 507-382-4391. See ya.

Oldschool:
Good idea. I had a Vega door car one time and park next to me was a front engine dragster and guess who had the most lookers ? I had full tube chassis car and beautiful,but they liked that dragster,more so the kids.

Sorry I can't get there Mate but I'm in Aussie. We have the same problem here with an over supply of door cars and an under supply of real race cars. I have a couple of face book pages about older race cars and I'm trying to be the conduit to get a small group together
 Hoping for 6 to 8 five second (1/8 mile ) FED's at a meeting early next summer.

Your interest is exactly what they do. Mostly eastern though.
