Read on Facebook today that the Chi-Town Hustler is going big time. There was a nice rendering of what the car will look like.

This is awesome. That, or a great April's Fool prank.

Master Mike, is this true?

I beg to differ, the Hustler was the ultimate match race car getting paid to run the IHRA and AHRA events along with a multitude of independent events. It's when the match race scene started drying up that they started chasing the NHRA circuit. We all know how that turned out.

That was hardly the "start" of it Zap. The name and legacy of the car was cemented long before then. It started in the late 60s when my grandfather was driving the car. Want to know how many NHRA National events he competed in? Let me give you a hint, you can count the number on one hand and you don't need all your fingers.

They got a guarentee from the track owner in Columbus. I suspect anytime they ran NHRA someone was paying show up money. Larry Carrier used to pay a guarentee, the Hustler went to many of his races.
