Hi. My name is Alan. I've been visiting this website for a few years.
Here's picture of my first dragster, it's a Speed Improvement chassis
from 1960. These were sold by a company in Long Beach. I got this
from original owner/builder exactly 13 years ago and got it running
with his backup flathead after it had set with a blown motor for many
years. His name was Mark Hopkins, and his two friends helping him
with the car was Poncho Beal and Dave Hollingshead. Lions Drag Strip
"the Beach" was it's home track. It has been sitting for awhile. Here
is a picture of another dragster (I know, engine in the wrong location)
that I have been working on since January 2011. It started as a set
of rails, alot of it just tacked together. I got it in California in 2009. If
you were at the LA Roadsters Father Day Show, maybe you saw it for
sale in the swap meet area. It's also flathead powered.
On another note, last year I ordered magneto coils, magneto wires,
magneto clamps from Spud-FIE. If you have Mallory Magneto questions
he has answers, correct ones. Thank you for this website.

Blind Mule - after seeing a picture of an early dragster with 2 flathead engines, I thought it would be fun to put one together. Best part is all the junk I had been collecting over the years, now it has purpose as opposed to just cluttering up the garage......
