Title: Old Canadian Drag Cars
Post by: Geoff on January 11, 2005, 02:23:55 PM

Read the write up on \"Jimmy Car\"  Six-a-go-go. Page two.
And there's a beetle in the lanes (tech or staging?) on page three.

Jim grant is still doing alright he just started doing bonniville his first try got him just a few mph of off getting a world record in some flathead rodster class. Not bad for a * canadian*.
