Default Re: About how much does...

I guess my experience working on a dragster, some might not have had the pleasure of doing. We had a lifter collapse, which took out the cam. Instead of just removing the radiator like you would on a door car, you have to pull the seat out, plus the panel that's behind the seat. We ran a vacuum pump and an accumulator, so that stuff all had to be removed because it was mounted behind the seat as well. Also, you have to be careful in the pits at some tracks. If the pits are hilly, you might get hung up. At Indy, the west side pits are also used as a road course, so there are a couple spots that dragsters, who's owners aren't familiar with the facility get hung up on. Eventually, I would like to get another dragster, I miss the speed. And they are much easier to drive.
