Well I race nostalgia FED because a FED C/gas dragster was my 1'st dragster in 1962, then in 63' we raced for 5 years a Real high gear nitro 301 ci JrFueler in the Midwest. We raced the green "Slot Racer" almost every week that there was no snow on the track, at Great Lakes Dragway, Union Grove, Wisc. Best Et 8.02, best speed 191 in 65'. Even tho our next car, BB/GD, we won the 69' US Nationals, and our last car, Dual engine BBC Top Gas Dragster, that I beat the "Freight Train" with a hole shot at the 71' US Nationals both were allot of fun, and rewarding, I still had the most fun racing the nitro JF car. Just to finish the J.C.Hansen driving story, the last car I drove was Jerry Newman's John Buttera built RED Top Fueler to a Div 3 Top Fuel Championship in 1973. Ya for all you young whiper snappers, NHRA used to have Division TF championships. We beat out Dick Lahie for the championship, and we were #2 in the Eastern Conference too.
Anyway That's why I still race FED's.
