People now will never know the excotement of two dragsters/roadsters/coups etc pushing down to fire up and them coughing to life at the last minute. If they didn't fire that was it the ball game was done and you lost.
The 1964 1965 and up Match Race wars with wheels up burnouts through the rosin or the bleach. Dandy Dick Landy doing high wheelies during burnouts and then the front weels barely coming up in the race. Don Nickolson's Comet with long rear wheel opening so they could move the rear forward or backward to tweek it in to the tracks. That was neat. Carried several different length driveshafts with tem and the rear subframe was movable with the 2 x 3 Rectangular ATorque Bars weled to the housing.
AA/Fuel Roadsters doing 4 wheel wheelies. or blazsing the tires 3/4 of the track. Fuelies smoking 3/4 track with high gear only using an in and out box.
None of those only fun times are seen now. They were unforgettable and exciting.
