Another night at the Drags

[RacingJake]

Only got 7 runs on Friday due to these cats hogging the lanes.
Ran a 6.35 and a 6.38. So I'd removed the 46 sprocket and installed a 44 sprocket for next week show down. I just love test and tune

The guy on the right ran a 5.45 at 150mph. The tank was alittle slower but with a big gun pointed out the front i can see why.


Also had this heavy hitter show up. Terry McMillian # 3 last year in IHRA.

What the heck is that in the far lane a drag tank?

 

[RacingJake]

The left lane is the tank called Secret Weapon and in the right lane is the War Wagon.

Now that's my kind of battle field vehicle. One that can Beat the shell to the target....

I remember back in the 60's there was a few tanks that dragged. The big thing was to make cars that would run on skid plates the entire length of the track. I saw a VW bus with a rear engine V8 and a school bus.
