Cool concept but spare me the "green" mandate please.

I think its a cool project and Big deserves our attention but that looks like some pricey stuff too. The Pro teams would do the same thing to that as any other combo. More and more, faster and faster. That's the idea behind drag racing. Right?

The thing I don't get is if everyone knows this is out of hand with the cost. Why is nothing being done to curb it. If Big is talking 50000 a run why not slow them down to help with cost? Other racing series are trying why not NHRA?

Hey, his idea to put the engine in the rear of a TF dragster worked out pretty good. So I'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. :)

Here's a pic TJ made of him thrashin on his car, at a race we went to, back in the '70's. :cool:

Just wonder how to work on the cost of TF/FC to make it easier to move up and have deeper fields.

Big Daddy got that thing flying. I do like the sound of the car.
