It was a land speed racer being tested, minus skin, on the dragstrip. Its name was "Motion 1", but nicknamed "Rhinoceros" when the body panels were on, because the humps to clear the engines. It was owned by Neal Black. In 1970, it crashed at almost 400mph, killing its driver.

I saw that dragster YEARS ago on a site and always thought what a great replica build it would make. Thanks for the additional info as what I had seen was just a sub-title with the pic.

You're on the right track, two Nailheads, but not M/T.

[Harry P.]

If two is better than one, is four better then two?

[Greg Myers]

Harry, Harry, Harry, let's stay on track.

Yeah, Ivo has already done it all - 2 engined, 4 engined, jet engine. What's left???

I don't remember any rules you posted regarding this topic.

[Greg Myers]

You got the easy one Ace. Try this "Twofer"

[Ace-Garageguy]

You mean this one...

[Greg Myers]

yes that's where I was going next. and this ?

[Ace-Garageguy]

... and this ?

What looks like a Pontiac valve cover peeking out of all the smoke, and the mounting of the fuel tanks (similar to the Challenger I) makes it most likely Mickey Thompson's "Monster".

[Ace-Garageguy]

Here's an early one for ya'...hint: it became the first dragster to break 150mph in the quarter.
