Neighbors Dragster - Rebuilt

[Berwick12]

John and his buddy built and raced this bad boy in 65 and raced it from 65-67. They sold it after that year because it was too much travel for the 2 of them. 10 years ago John found it for sale on Craigslist and bought it back. He fixed it up, rebuilt it and raced it last year. Here are some pics.

It impresses me. Thank you for the story.

A fuel injected 327, presumably running on gas. What class would that be?

 

[Berwick12]

I'll ask about the class. He said he started with 327 but then he said something about mixing the gas with something else and then he lost me. I'm assuming it has something to do with the methanol Jerry cans that you see in the background that say VP racing.

Looks like a nice little bracket car.

He's either mixing it with gas or running straight alky
