Had a tube chassis Vega that done real big wheelies, damn near flipped it over a few times! It was fun and I done a small amount winning with it. Went 9.6's. Had it 6 yrs. Moved on to a '27 roadster. Great car, not very comfortable, had a personality though. Won alot with it selling it was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. Several people still can not beleive I sold it.Had this one 8 yrs. Ran 8.6's This car was feared!!!! Stepped up to a 4.7's/ 7.6's dragster last season. Wow is that fast. Loading and unloading is a pain in the arse. Driving through some pits is tough. You always got to be thinking "If I get this long thing into that pit spot can I get it back out". I have bottomed it out on the ground, on the trailer, on tree roots . You got to remember, Its 20' between the front and back tires. However, it seems like every pass is very near perfect. With other cars there is always that one great pass I could say thats perfect and it will never back it up. Dont go off that TT cause it was flawless! Well in a pipe buggy every pass is that good. Vision is great. I have not mastered the finish line with it just yet. Those front tires are pretty far out there.For those who say dragsters are boring strap you arse in there and let it fly with a 1.05 60' it will get your attention.
