I was part of the Nitro Revival 3, in Irwindale, California, at the dragstrip the other weekend. Steve Gibbs, of NHRA fame puts this event on and it's really worth seeing. So many famous names from drag racing are in attendance, most with their famous and restored rails, funny cars, gassers, altered, etc. There's lots of food and vendors in the midway, nitro smell in the air as various guys light off their engines for the delight of the onlookers, many made passes on the strip, and even the parking lot across from the pits looks like a car show, as many hot rod car clubs came to hang.
I brought a drag boat to display, the Mortician, which raced from 1965 thru 1967, dominating the Unblown Fuel Flatbottom class, and setting 5 World Records . As many of you may know, I tow with my '71 Mach. One of the event photogs posted this picture of the Mustang attached to the drag boat in the Nitro Revival 3 website. The car/drag boat combo got a lot of attention, and I'm so flattered they included the photo along with the very cool dragsters that were there. If you think you're seeing double, you're right....there's two injected nitro burning 327s in that flatbottom, ( pump gas burning 351c in the 'stang ).
