Vintage Dragsters at Cruisin' Grand

Last Friday night at Escondido's Cruisin' Grand 12 vintage Top Fuelers were on display. The best part was when they fired them up two at a time!

Here's a few pics, lots more in my Cruisin' Grand album...

 

I can't stand it. I swear I'm gonna rob a bank. Look at those things man....everything about 'em is just beautiful.

One of the "Magicars" and the S&H -- A couple of Kent Fuller beauties! I just had breakfast with Fuller this morning, then came home to find this neat thread on the HAMB. I forwarded the pics for him to enjoy.

Couple of FEDs on the street. Even "Big Willy" never pulled that off...
I just wish we could see these cars make a full p*** again.
I get teared up every time I hear them cackle, and it isn't just from the fumes.
I do remember a race between a couple retired funnies on the street once in Portland but that's a long story probably better not repeated...

 

Those are just cacklefest cars. They are an awesome part of our history and I am happy to see them restored but they don't run them becasue they wont p*** todays tech and they are to valuable to take the chance. See ya in Oct.!

They did the same thing last year at Cruisin' Grand, in September, I remember, because it was the same time as my 35 year High School reunion. I heard those ****ers fire up, and I was GONE from the reunion... I managed through a friend of a friend of a friend, to get across the tape, and close enough that I could feel the heat from the zoomies...my heart was palpitating, my eyes were burning, and I couldn't breathe.... it just doesn't get any better than that.. I got about 100 digital photos that night, and still look at them from time to time DAMN that was bad ***.
