I think everyone whos into drag racing should go see this place if you already haven't

George Klass · 12-30-2008, 04:58 PM

Twin blown Pontiacs, four drag slicks, it could only be Eddie Hill.

George Klass · 12-30-2008, 05:03 PM

Before there was fiberglass, before carbon fiber, before acid dipping......... there was the hole saw.

George Klass · 12-30-2008, 05:05 PM

Before drag racing was a "TV sport", there were 64 car Top Fuel fields at Lions Drag Strip. And trust me, there were 75 fuelers trying to make the cut.
