This is my second dragster, the frame of which I started some time ago.

This is the dragster "ATTEMPT 1" by Mickey Thompson
The 320 horsepower engine is a four-cylinder Pontiac Tempest with a compressor.

Revell is who made this beautiful scale model 1/25 that I have the hull is the result of decals that do not have the original decoration.

The chassis is very simple, it is made of brass and aluminum, the motor is a Champion 16D.
And here's the best part of the scratcher, when all parts are complete and that just have to carry out the assembly

I like it so far and you did a great job on the model dragster as well.

Here is the machine mounted, the parachute was painted in gray and a part was made to simulate the sheath of the air intake cover.

Nothing complicated, a little piece of stainless steel tube cut at an angle and glued al'araldite, it's prettier than a gaping hole.

For testing, I have track, or the club, it's not terrible but the guide seems to want to stay in the groove when accelerating, it's cool.

Now that’s a really cool car, Régis. I love the attention to detail you gave the bottom of the body. All the cut-outs are so neat and the corners have a uniform radius. Beautiful job .
