My daily driver...towed the Pinto all the way to Belle Rose last March with a 15.52 dial on the truck and a 15.65 dial on the race car...probably the only person there who had a tow vehicle quicker than the race car it was towing...

2011 F-150 with the new 5.0, has run 15.30 at 90 mph and won me a wally at the National Dragster race in Sportsman class at Indy last year. Now if I could just win in one of my racecars instead of my street vehicles...

Ive driven this car most everyday for 1 1/2yrs, 30miles round trip, to work, and wherever else i need to go. I just changed the stock engine out to a 455/cast piston .030 over/bowl ported 6x's/.534/286* with 1.65s/3.55s. I have to change converter(9'' is waaaay too loose for the street.) .. Doin that in a few weeks, then itll be back on the road!

There goes your gas mileage !

Seriously, a very cool wagon, I love it.

I'm turning my Drag Wagon into my daily driver right now.
