He brought that thing to one of our local shows and I was able to do the touchy feely thing with it.
I don't like the 21st century.....
I didn't like the late 20th much either.

What the heck is a "Prototype Driver?" Don Garlits is MY HERO ! I've liked him ever since the sixties when he went out to the west coast and put all the loud mouth California hot rodders back on their trailers. . .
BTW, have any of you guys visited Don's museum in Ocala, FL ? It is terrific !

Garlits was a virtual mentor to me. All of us in our teens wanted to become him.
He had me at 392
Most precious number. Even ahead of 426 later.

Yeah but he seems to be an innovator, moving the bar forward rather than being stuck in the past... how can that be?
Well is there a class in the NHRA for electric powered rails? I only ask because I really don't know.

no there is not a class for any electric cars. They might be able to compete in a couple of classes but there are no actual rules (to the best of my knowledge) governing them either since there aren't many people doing anything with them.

Every season someone showed up with a car that fit no exisisting class.
Every new class created by NHRA was created when the second one showed up.

EJ Potter had an exhibition electric car that he ran just before he stopped drag racing and started tractor pulling.
