Jefferson Starship was sponsoring the Worlds Fastest Hippie, Mike Mitchell dragster, and the hauler was painted with the various album covers from Starship.

Mike Fischer was the driver for Jefferson Starship's concert equipment, and when Mitchell got them to sponsor him, Fischer was then driving that vehicle as the race car transporter.

The semi truck was painted with the various album covers from Starship, and during retirement Mitchell spent time on the road crew for Starship.

Mike Mitchell, World's Fastest Hippie had IMPEACH NIXON on his dragster Barracuda rear spoiler





 Impeach Nixon painted on the spoiler with the X in Nixon as a swastika,

Wally Parks saw it and made Mike put duct tape over it.

2 years later, after Nixon  resigned, Wally told Mitchell he was sorry and that Mike was correct.
