Front Engine Dragsters / In search of old dragsters

« on: August 04, 2013, 06:04:54 AM »

I am scouring the web in search of any information regarding the whereabouts of my grandfathers old dragsters from the 1950's and '60's. He lived in Lansing, MI and had two cars: The Sugar Cookie and The Red Baron. They were both front engine dragsters that he raced all over the midwest at NHRA events. The Red Baron was powered by a HEMI and the Sugar Cookie a Chevy. He sold both cars many years ago, but the original buyers of the cars have since passed and their families no longer know where the cars went after their passing. My father-in-law is recreating the Red Baron with a leftover Hemi my grandfather had in the garage still and we're hoping to find the original car to bring back.

Thanks.
