Dime Rocket- DNQ

Okay..What's this misleading title really about?

Well, a few years back, when Billy started the Dime Rocket threads, we decided that turbo cars and FWD's weren't eligible, seeing that it was too easy to make them run under the index.

I do agree with that premise..but what Billy didn't tell you is that it takes about 40 years of doing this for it to be easy.

Anyway , this project is a DF/S car , and it did run 1.05 under the NHRA index on the second pass the other night...
A friend (who some of you might know) and I started on it in January.

Easy does it ...and I'll be glad to answer any inquiries about it if anyone cares to hear it.

I did take a few pictures along the way, but did not document every nut and bolt,..but I think I remember them...
