I dig the design of this Nova II station wagon dragster... but they sure seem to be racing stupid. If no one can make a full power run, because everyone is packing more power than traction, that seems kinda stupid






They're constantly only winning by default of who doesn't cross lanes, wipe out and hit the guardrails, or lifts completely. I didn't see a single race in this video where the better car won, or the more powerful car won.

As for no prep? Bullshit. That's a dragstrip, and that's not painted black... that's been coated for years with track prep. If you want anyone to believe in that no prep crap, go find an airport runway no one's using, then lets see a race on a surface that's actually never been prepped

That's just stupid.

Mopar Muscle cars from all over the pits at Mopars at the Strip 2012, perhaps the best place I've been to get your fill of Mopars of street and strip, stock and Super Stock

























 Even new Charger Super Bees

 Plexi glass over the grill area
 What the hell? When did a Barracuda get a half vinyl top? The Gran Sport model? I don't know, it looks terrible





 I love the Mooneyes on the headlight covers. Awesome

 Worst of the Road Runners, a 76 or 77 I think, and this one has had a hard life in the sun







 I don';t remember ever showing how some of the last hood ornaments had the engine displacement facing the driver

















 Supercharged slant six. Hmmm must be a power to weight or class break thing
