Safety First!





This is an awesome looking dragster with straight 6 photographed up at the Petersen last Friday but check out the last picture. Any rear end failure would prove disasterous to the driver!

  2. What motor is that? looks like a chevy/gmc.... looks like wayne valve cover and side covers. but the exhaust manifolds are on the other side, and spark plugs are also on the other side too. Any more photos? close up of the carbs?

  4. "Al and Harvey Teague’s 320 cubic inch GMC-Wayne roadster would do mid-120 mph trap speeds in the quarter and turn low 11’s. When they put the Jimmy into an early rail dragster chassis it jumped to 137 mph and high 10’s." (Excerpt from RM Auctions)
