Welcome from Alabama, I miss all the variety of things to do in Calif. Don't miss the traffic though (and a few other things). Looks like everyone here is a newbie like us!

finally got some new pictures, thanks to my good friend jared.  This has been a dream of mine for over 45 years.  I was going to join the procrastionaters club but i havent got around to it yet.

Very nice, I see the chassis is already certified. Did you build it?

I was told that my rail was built by Mark Williams. It has a tag that reads 18 SEMA. The previous owner said the chassis tag system changed around 1975? He had bought the dragster from hotrod Fullers` dad. He updated the cage and had new tin bent. The 'billboards' were the originals on it. That, the side wings, and the 210 wheelbase make me think 1971, the last full season for front engine top fuel. Maybe just wishful thinking. The other tag is a NHRA sportsman tag, but I`m having a hard time reading (deciphering) it. What do I know ?  ???  LOL I`m just a newbie :D
