The Oddest Car You Raced Against

Several years ago, there was an ex Sand Drag racer who converted his tube chassis, aluminum body Jeep to dragstrip duty. It had a supercharged Pontiac "Slant 4" (basically one side of a 389 V8, used in the early Tempest cars),the engine was mounted behind the driver. I believe it burned alcohol, and ran in the high 8 second range, and had a very unique sound to it. It must have been a handfull before, running those scooped paddle tires in the sand.
