As soon as I can figure out how to get a good night shot with the camera, I'd love to do it!

I'm going to try a short video clip too.

Maybe if I can get at least one good day of sunshine, I'll get a shots of it under power.

I thought this was a joke at first, but that is pretty awesome. Where do you even run something like this?

Thanks!

I run it anywhere there is a long, straight, & smooth surface.

(As long as it's not in use)

It's not as fast as you'd think, but it's pretty cool watching the 'chute deploy at the end of the run...

Thats a cool dragster man, I used to drag 1/10 cars also. How about we do a pinkslip race (LOL) winner takes all.
Youll probably win anyway, if ya get in front of me, youll roast my front tires off.
Wait, I dont even need my front tires, there always in the air, :lol:

Cant wait for the vid.

I just might try something like this too, I have a few drag chassis laying around.
Man, you give me Ideas, my wife will kill me.

It's a fun project.

I'm sure I'd have to step up a motor size or two before I was confident enough to race anything, it's more for showing off than racing...

(These things are usally an "all or nothing" type of performer)

Great looking drag racer! :D
