    check this dragster out...

     



    hey guys first time starting a thread so be easy on me, back in 2003 i took a trip down to lawrenceburg Tenn. to visit old friends that relocated there. my buddy insisted we check out the local drags which is U.S. 43 drag raceway. its a 1/8 mile track with the usual suspects, nova's, camero's, 1 dodge, a couple mustangs, some dixie door slamers and 2 guys on dirt bike LOL! i thought i saw it all when these guys show up with the twin turbo dragster from hell..
    keep in mind at the time it was still in the testing stages.....

    as u can see in the video they were still trying to dial it in, when i talked to them about the computer control these guys told me the computer was pretty much set at default, by posting these pics i was hoping someone would recongnize these guys and possibly update us on it. im curious to know if they still have it and find out how fast it is today.
