  • In Vista, California, Don Prudhomme has his old race shop set up as a sort of drag racing museum. Mostly filled with his own history, which is quite extensive. But on November 5, 2011. He filled his shop with the racing equipment of many an old drag racer. And outside, the o.k., was given to fire a few of the cackle cars. Here are the Magicar and the Barnstormer. Enjoy...

    How can a simple rail car be so beautiful? Different times.

    SWB front engine dragsters are some of the coolest racecars of all time.

    i just cant get enough of the beautifull transitions from alcohol to nitro fuel. transforms the engine into a beast of unknown origin. great sound!!
    ow btw, isnt Ricky deaf by now?

      That point in time of transfer when it almost quits.. then quickly starts the hammer process in the cylinders.
      I live for that..... The King of speed was always badass at doing static loads on the motor in the pits. Makes your eyes go in same frequency as motor. Most GOD AWESOME.

    Were did you find Ivo's Barn Stormer ? He had been looking for it for years. I had a 1963 Ivo car that looked like it and met Ivo in Bakersfield in 2002 with it for the inaugural Ring of Fire. He was in my pit crew. What a Dream come true

      Hi John.
      What’s not to love about the “Barnstormer”.
      It’s red. It’s sleek...
      Beautiful stuff.
      It was one of the first head on magazine cover photos, of the front motor dragster, I ever saw! I was at the local drugstore magazine rack, and there it was-coming right at me. Tire smoke pouring off the slicks. I fell in love right there! I was 13 years old.
      I also remember pointing to the picture and asked my Dad if the smoke was pouring out of the motor!!
      Dad said, “No. It’s tire smoke.”
      That began my love affair with the front motor dragster. :)

      @@JohnW1711stock... personally, I think the GBP digger, along with Magicar, The Rattler, Keeling & Clayton and a host of others, had much nicer bodywork & paint than this particular iteration of Ivo's, which was one of his first, if not The first for him.... don't remember exactly, it's been "a few days" since then. ; ) One of the most beautiful FED's I've Ever seen (and Very fast & Quick!), was in Div. 6 - on the Canadian side, belonging to the McCurdy Bros. from Saskatoon, Sask.
      If I remember right, I think they were running A/FD and were outrunning almost all of the US A/FD cars that ventured up there, by an easy 2/10ths, then they built a RED - T/AD that was also, outrunning the US T/AD's when they were going up there back in the early to late 1970s... and it too, had absolutely stunning body work & incredible paint, all done by one of the brothers, who was a body & paint man by trade and his brother who did the driving, owned a transmission shop and he built all their engines and transmissions.

    I think when they started running bigger blowers and nitrous methane super fuel that front engine dragsters were too dangerous to drive if there are carbureted fuel injection that's a different story No blowers. Naturally aspirated.
