Russ Collins' Battlestar
« on: November 22, 2013, 02:20:02 AM »
I run a UK-based nostalgia drag racing web site called the Acceleration Archive.  I have just posted a page in the Readers' Gallery section which includes a number of pictures kindly supplied by Russ Collins of his rear engined Top Fuel Bike dating from 1982.  If you would like to see some pictures of this unique machine follow this link and scroll to the bottom of the page.  On the way down you will also see images of some of the top US cars and drivers of the 1970s and '80s.

I have been on your web site, nice job, how about a mention of this forum there. I could do the same here if you would like to provide a fitting description

I remember Russ Collins & his Triclops Honda running down the 1/4 mile at OCIR. 3 Honda's on nitro.
