OK, now THAT sounds like my kind of rail!!

I've always dreamed of building a 120" dragmaster or k-88 style dragster with a 302/c4/9" combo. I've literally got everything I need.

Not my car, it is the car that got me pointed me in the right direction and buying my own. It belonged to one of the brothers that I currently drive for. Sorry Picture quality is not real great.

Rat, is that the same Colthrups that have been around the QLD drag race scene for years?

You are on the money Roo, since 1966. This dragster belonged to John, the car I drive belongs to his brothers Joe & Jim.

Rat, can I ask why you went with a 727 instead of a c4?

Why a 727, simply it came at the right price. It was already beefed up as it came out of a Customline. It was shortened to fit in the dragster and used a push button shifter.
