I always loved multi-engined drag cars, like this beauty

Or maybe this one. Probably not gonna make that 45 minute turn-around, tho

Eddie Hill's got a pair, and I ain't talking about the Pontiacs, either!

Two different roll bar designs and his good sunglasses, what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Sandman]

With all the wheels spinning, which ones are steering?

 

[Sandman]

Never mind...

That dragster with the twin Indy Ford cammers is way cool

The original Hurst Hairy Olds, of which that Toro is something of a copy, was well known to be an absolute beast to control. Can you say "torque steer?"

Had to laugh at that Florida poster calling Ivo's 4 engine dragster the fastest in the world !!!.....I first saw that "thing" in southern Georgia in 1962 (I think !!), and the track announcer gave it a 195 mph run !!!.....Think I heard Ivo himself say that it wouldn't go that fast even if it was pushed off a really high cliff !!!.....But heck, it was fun to watch back then...........
