Description
Not many things cooler than a front engine 'slingshot' dragster in my opinion. A couple of thousand horsepower right in the face of the driver of a purpose-built machine that is only good at one thing, which is getting as quick as it can straight down a quarter-mile.
These cars were at their best in the 1960's even though they were extremely dangerous as speeds in these machines were commonly around 200 miles per hour.
This example (and the nice old Chevy pick-up in the background) was captured at the 2015 H.A.M.B. Drags in Southwest Missouri.

You are right...the 'romance' of these dangerous cars is undeniable...and rare to find in today's world.
