Our Undercover dragsters make a great Top Dragster if you ever want to go that route. Just qualified #1 at the resent D4 race in Belle Rose La with a 6.100@231 mph

Won a MWPMS TD race last season in Tulsa

I know, I was watching. Wink

Yea they're great cars. No plans yet for TD. Thinking about building a Super Gas car or new Super Comp dragster next season but this car has been so good.
