I would like to see some Vintage or Nostalgia drags tho. They had them in Bakersfield when I went to Trophy Cup in Tulare a few years ago. I was tempted to commute back & forth, but didn't want to hassle with extra driving time & $$$
Like this crazy thing: One engine in front, one in back, different engines! Craziest thing is that it actually worked, first dragster to top 150 mph in Quarter Mile. You can see it at Garlits Museum in Ocala, Fla.
