    I just ran across this YouTube video about the speed sport IV compressed air dragster which also mentions Dale Grantham and his dragster as well which I've done a thread about in the past.

    Lord, I wish those compressed-air systems would've caught on. MT's was seriously neat.

    Always thought those alternate powered dragsters were interesting, that video is a Great “fill in the blanks” addition to the story. Brian has some great content in his videos, especially if you like hot rod history!

    The Bean Bandits/Speed Sport match races were a sight to behold! Ground pounding noise was unreal.
