While searching the www for stuff about Front Engine Dragsters I found this nice video on youtube.

It's a 1971 U.S. film. Very rare and seldom seen, youth-oriented racing movie featuring Deborah Walley. It's the story of a young man's efforts to get a ride in a top fuel dragster.

Check out 07:40

This might be from interest for a certain car nut from Scotland... Roll Eyes

Amazing.... Did you notice the drag race between the VW and the Oldsmobile? Guess who that was in the VW? Ron Fleming! That was the Under Dog #2!..... I/Gas within 1/100 of the national record.

Great video ! Take a look at the background instead of the blond girl at 6:55, there's a nice 356.
