Veteran British Drag Racer Norm Wheeldon has created one of Nostalgia Racing's most stunning creations to date, the "Two Much" twin engined dragster. This is not a restoration or recreation, Norm's beauty is a "clean sheet" build twin front engine dragster.

The powertrain for Norm's ride consists of twin 359 c.i. Donovan small block Chevrolets fed methanol thru dual Enderle Bird Catchers atop Kuhl 6-71 blowers. Putting power to the ground is a Titan triple plate clutch in a Browell bell housing, a Lenco 2-speed, and a Wheeldon fabricated rear axle based on the venerable 9 in. Ford coupled to a pair Hoosier slicks.

The powerplants in Norm's digger are coupled via two cogs and a duplex chain with a removable link similar to the set-up in Frank Peter's "Frieght Train". A 48 volt aircraft starter spins them over. "Two Much" saw its first fire on Sept 20, 2009 at Shakespeare County Raceway in the U.K.

Crewmember Vince Shaw primes the hats while fellow team mate Herb Andrews mans the starter with Norm at the wheel in preparation for a burnout and shakedown run.

Finally, the moment arrives as Norm tortures the massive Hoosiers to the delight of his fellow Britons! For a taste of this momentous occasion see the whole thing on YouTube under "Norm's Burnout".

Judging from the superior workmanship evident on "Two Much", one would never know that this was Norm's first attempt at a full body dragster. But then, Norm honed his skill fabricating "high end" parts for Formula 1 racecars.
