The front engine dragster is a is a race car purpose built for drag racing.

Now considered obsolete, the “rail”, “digger”, or “slingshot” dragster is now used mainly in nostalgia drag racing. Models range in length from 160–225 in (4,064–5,715 mm) in wheelbase. They were originally used in the highest class of drag racing, Top Fuel. The front engine dragster naturally came about due to engines for the most part, being in front of the driver. However they used and still do not use any form of suspension, so the top fuel and alcohol cars became very unstable. This due in part to their making 2,000–3,000 hp (1,491–2,237 kW), plus having poor tire technology, short wheelbases, and very light weight. (This was demonstrated to extremes in the Fuel Altereds.) The driver sits angled backward, over the top of the differential in a cockpit that is situated between the two rear tires, a design originating with Mickey Thompson in 1954, as a way of improving traction. This position led to many drivers being maimed when catastrophic clutch failures occurred.[citation needed]

Introduced with the start of organized drag racing, they were limited by the availability of traction from their rear slicks. A number of with four rear drive wheels were attempted, as well, including cars by Art Chrisman (along with his brother, Lloyd, and partner Frank Cannon), Bill Coburn, and Eddie Hill. (Coburn and the Chrisman brothers used twin engines, also.)

The rail was supplanted by the rear-engined car now standard when Don Garlits introduced Swap Rat XIV in 1971. He designed the car designed while in the hospital, himself suffering from severe injuries caused by an exploding clutch.

     Yup, the title is NOT a misprint. I am blowing out these 1966 Oroville Boat Drag Racing Program Poster Prints for a limited time. Both in my eBay store, and the Amazon WebStore.

     It is kinda funny , because it is not like I am not swamped as it is, but I thought it would be fun to pick one of the 100 plus posters I have and create a sale. I like promoting the site , along with all the awesome artwork available. It is fun to try new things. Throw together a few Google AdWord ideas, go in the Amazon WebStore and come up with a promo package, and then eBay with some marketing.

     Plus it is a new month, things are going great and I enjoy giving good deals. Or maybe I had too much coffee and just going with it. Either way, May is going to be exciting. 

     Take a look thru the posters and enjoy !

     If the Oroville Poster Promo is a hit, maybe we will bust out a few more poster sales in the next few months. Heck, Father’s Day is just around the corner, and I know I have a bunch of ideas for that. Once Mother’s Day is over I will be getting onto that. 

     There are a bunch of car shows and swap meets that we might hit, we will just have to see.

      Starting today May 1st we are goin to run some poster promos for HAMB and HubGarage members on the Amazon WebStore. And for those who do NOT belong to either, you need to go and sign up. Both sites are outstanding. The HAMB is packed with young and old hot rodders loaded with tons of good tips. You can spend hours if not DAYS just looking and reading thru the HAMB board. Today is my favorite of days on the HAMB , because it is “Friday Art Show”.  A lot of awesome talent . Graphic Designs, Pinstriping, T-Shirt Designs, Metal Car Art work, Photography, and some killer sketches !! 

     Then there is the HubGarage ! A look into everyones garage. A site that I am still new to. HubGarage has a little more broader audience of car guys than the HAMB. Still soooo much to see, and so little time.
