Ken Keir has been building winning cars (especially Comp Eliminator cars) for a long time. Is this dragster a Comp car?

Ken Keir is in Owings, Maryland.  Very innovative builder, built David Rampy's World Champion Altereds and held national records himself.  This car is built with a comp mindset, but will be raced in brackets with a high horsepower small block chevy comp type engine.

And thats the reason for R&P steering and Tri-pod front end?

Make sure you check out the M/W axles I have for sale in the classifieds
