Very successful effort from the McGee brothers. A young Gary Beck & Dale Armstrong with their dragster. I don’t remember if they just stopped using it or NHRA banned it.
That's really cool. When we were match racing there was a front engine dragster with a 427 SOHC Ford that would show up at various events. It was a real crowd pleaser and got allot of attention. They were able to run with their group ET and speed wise, but it was a bear to work on and get serviced between rounds. More than once it came apart in rather spectacular fashion. But the owner had a barn full of parts for it and they were back on the track in a few weeks. In a sea of hemi's, it was cool to see something really different like this.
