Going to run the Back Seat Drivers and N.E.T.O schedules and any specialty events I can find.  Any info would be helpful!  Thanks.

You may also want to plan for the New England Hot Rod Reunion in September. There they will run a 7.0 and a 7.50 class. Car looks trick!

What do you plan on using for a power plant ? I like the rack and pinion steering ! Never seen one on an FED!

My engine builder is Bob Kaiser who builds mostly high end V6 Comp stuff.  He's finishing a naturally aspirated 422" SBC that's making 860HP on the dyno on Sunoco 112.  We'll see how fast it goes?

Car looks good: What about the faces rubbed out with a Sharpie?

Driving a Front Engine Dragster builds character and keeps you awake for a 1/4 mile at a time.
