you'll never guess what i saw while channel surfing

thats right, i came across one of the free stations that play movies from the 60s and im watching something called bikini beach

the thing that caught my eye (no it wasnt the bikinis) was tommy Ivo's twin engine dragster

this is what wikipedia has to say about it

The dragsters used in the drag racing scenes (shot at Pomona Raceway) were very popular - and successful - at the time. They include: Dean Jeffries' "Manta Ray," Larry Stellings' "Britannica," the Greer, Black and Prudhomme fuel dragster "Freida" - driven by Don Prudhomme, 'TV' Tommy Ivo's fuel dragster and four-Buick-engined "Showboat" dragster - the one Clyde drives to a new speed record. Ivo was also a technical advisor for the film, as well as go-kart champ Von Deming - billed in the credits with the title, "West Coast Go-Kart Champion."

best part is...i wouldnt have recognized it if it werent for the builds i've seen on this forum

(and no self driving car can ever replace that)
