Isn't that the one that won the HotRod Pump Gas Drags a few years back?  Or did it win Drag Week before Larson ran the table 4yrs in a row?

I know it was the Hot Rod Pump Gas winner, not sure about the other.

Awesome car!

Yeah the guys name is like Plimpton or Plinkton or something...I am pretty sure he had won Drag Week as well before Larson started taking it every year.

Jim Plimpton...and during that dyno run, the engine wasn't tuned quite right, or had some sort of problem...and STILL made well over 1400 hosses...sweet car.

It just doesn't do it for me, personally.  Then again, I'm not a fan of drag cars.
