Racetech rear engine dragster


About a week after we sold the Austin Healey, Emily (pregnant with Alex), Austin, and I drove to North Carolina to pick up the 225" Racetech. This was not the plan as the person who was supposed to go with me had to cancel at the last min., so she packed up and within an hour we were on our way to 30 hrs of driving in about 36 hrs. When we were driving through the Virginia beach area on our way back, Emily (pregnant with Alex) pretty much lost it " I have never been to the East coast and now I cannot even stop to enjoy the beach!!" (Did i mention that it was that it was raining and thundering). We ran the car during the 2008 season, and Alex was born that summer as well. The car ran 8.80's at 150 mph in the 1/4 and 5.50's at 125 in 1/8th mile. That car was sold in October and made its way to Louisiana.

Here is a video I put together:
