Zippi Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 The "Fuel Cuda" drag car turned out really nice. I'll bet that was a hand full at the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 I laughed at your comment about the body but you ended up with a radical looking drag car. Nice work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterguy Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) Very , very cool . I build drag cars for the most part. that and 30's or earlier weird stuff. I am way old, I remember the Fuel Cuda debut at Arlington ( maybe ), the fans hated it. Pelted Grassi and Austin with beer cans as well as the car itself. Yes you could haul in cans of beer back then. Hated it because "funny cars" were current popular cars, lots of stock body parts, not Dave Grassi's old aa/gas dragster with a 66 'glass body draped over it. The Mercury factory cars were about the only tube chassis cars. Yes I'm sure there were exceptions and it changed fast. Anyway fans hated it, it was a BIG ruckus when the brought it out. Garlits built a similar car using an old dragster. Guys hated that them. Rules were changed because of these two. The thing was the driver behind the rear end like a slingshot. That made it a badly disguised slingshot dragster, not a funny car. Driver must be in front, I saw this car race many times in the NW, it ran low 9's when I saw it. Now people love it.
