Rat Trap in the far lane had to shut off due to an electrical problem, Nanook got all outta shape and went into Rat Trap's lane. http://community.webshots.com/video/3

Literally *JUST* ordered some from the States! Oh well, patience is a virtue I'm told...

Well if you order from the Ststes, if you buy three you get one free, last week I got Famoso Cacklefest - 2004 Hot Rod Reunion-13, it's awesome.

Cool... I ordered 4 inc. Famoso Cacklefest. Can't wait.

Click on www.cacklefest.com/cacklecars.shtml the majority of these dragsters are on the Famoso Cacklefest DVD. Look at Tom Hanna'sdragster, it's brand new not a restoration, you can see why people called him "The Tinman"

Thanks for that....

Funny how if something looks right, it usually is right. Scanning through the pics on the link, the one that caught my eye was The Chizler... the first piston-powered car to crack the double-ton.

A top link, cheers! Added to the favourites.

The Chizler ran 200 mph in 1960 but did'nt back it up that's why Swamp Rat VI holds the record.

Gotta love this forum.

Q: If it weren't for the restriction of 335 Terminals, do you think Top Fuel cars could, eventually, make 400mph?

Since they reduced the nitro percentage to 85%, Alan Johnson, crew chief on Tony Schumacher's US Army Top Fueler blasted him to an NHRA Speed Record of 336.15 mph (still unbeaten) at National Trail Raceway in 1995.

If the NHRA reallows the use of 90% nitro then they could eventually make 400mph, some of the crew chiefs are very crafty at making their cars going faster & quicker At the moment they are only allowed to use 90% nitro at Bandimere Speedway because of the altitude.
