Green and wild, this show-n'-go rail dragster is out to beat all the competition.

With a big 427 c.i. single-overhead cam Ford V-8 engine, belt-driven blower, dual intakes and spider leg exhaust headers, it looks like it's ready to make its move.


I have never built this rail dragster with open parachute, because I'm afraid of these many ropes...

I have this here, built around, parallel with my Stingaree

and decided to participate it in The 2010 Fools With No Rules contest.

Here now, a little more detail...

A few small changes, the front is quite a bit deeper now, an aluminum grating in front of the cooler, the rear wheels - the rims are from the Dodge Cocept Car with machined and polished aluminum sleeves and home made rubbers, some wiring, a lowered windshield, and a hinged roof - i always thought about it: how should the driver, squeeze himself into this thing?

Hope, you like it.
