"The kings of the quarter mile!" These front motored, slingshot style dragsters are patterned after and built similar to the top fuel dragsters of the 60's and early 70's. Today’s nostalgia top fuel dragsters are extremely challenging to drive. These supercharged nitromethane-burning machines are capable of elapsed times in the 5-second range with speeds approaching 250 mph. The ear-splitting quarter mile monsters utilize 90's technology and safety equipment while maintaining the nostalgic flavor and visual appeal of a 1960's racecar. The most visual difference between a front-engined "Nostalgia" Top Fuel dragster and a contemporary NHRA-style Top Fuel dragster is the motor-location, lack of a rear wing and overall length or wheelbase. Currently, over 40 front engined top fuel dragsters are active around the United States.
