Musclecarblog.tumbler has a great focus on late 60's high performance musclecars, and Mopars particularly

Of course I love this R/T photo, I've got an R/T... and my last musclecar was a Superbee that looked exactly like the above R/T, with a bee on the grill instead of the rt.

"Awesome Nostalgia" Drag racing.. nothing compares to the experience



Completely off the ground.
This doesn't look like the far lane is going to have a good landing

Why it's more important to have a scattershield around the trans, and the engine in the back. Those flying parts are also rotating, at between 4 to 9 thousand rpm... notice the tires are still spun up... and those spinning discs will slice through any thing that gets in the way. Be careful out there, and have fun.
That's the timing lights in the upper left of the photo, and the front tires are off the ground, the Moon Eyes are looking at the track they'd desperately like to get back to, and the slicks arec oming off the bead of the rim.
