The Winged Express driver passes the competition on the far side of the track, between the other dragster and the wall, post burnout lane change


Learned about it in the Feb 2011 Hot Rod magazine, Roddin at Random. Too bad Hot Rod isn't more focused on drag racing and hot rods instead of new Chevy LS engine head tech articles and putting LS engines into a 1979 Camaro. When did a 79 Camaro with any engine ever define "Hot Rod"?

43 years in a barn, but it had one hell of a racing career before hibernation







Looks amazingly good for having hibernated.. about the only thing that indicates true age are those slicks.

Mike Bamber's old "Silver Dollar" A/GS 1940 Willys

the engine was being rebuilt in it, to make a few passes on the Nostalgia circuit, when a guy teaching his daughter to drive plowed into the barn, missed the Willys, but hit the engine stand and knocked the engine over - cracking the blower case. Lucky that no one was hurt, and that the truck was missed completely
