This 2004 Mazda Miata has gotten its man card thanks to a Flyin’ Miata 6.2L 480-hp LS3 swap backed by a Viper T56 Tremec 6-speed. According to the owner the car runs the 1/4-mile in 10.64 secs on slicks. That’s a 10-second car right there, F&F fans!

Want to start your children young? Well then these nostalgic pedal cars are uber-cool and will definitely get you stopped by the right sort of ladies when you take your kid(s) for a stroll. You’re welcome.

Some crazy nostalgic drag cars. It think this one might be an example of a mental Tractor pull dragster. I’d hate to see what happens in a catastrophic engine failure.

A nice display of a 1941 Willys Coupe and 1955 Chevy Bel-Air custom.

Some heavy hitters that you will recognize from the Hot Rod Power Tour/Drag Week were on hand as well. Jeff Lutz and his 2014 Drag Week winning “Evil Twin” 1957 Bel-Air. These cars are built with reliability as well as power in mind, since during Drag week they have to drive the cars between drag strips. Crazy to think that these cars are still street legal.

Tom Bailey’s 1969 Camaro flexing its twin turbo’d 621 cubic inch BBC motor built by Steve Morris Racing to the tune of 2500-hp. That’ll do. The car was the first to run 6-second passes on 5 different tracks during Hot Rod Drag Week as well as covering over a thousand miles during the entire event.

Another insane setup was this Drag Week participant Chevelle. Yet again I could not find the owner to get more details on this.

Robbie Gokool’s 1972 Chevelle Malibu is the perfect family car. It has a 496 stroker big block with a Weiland 871 blower and topped off by two 850 cfm Holley carbs. No one will be asking “Are we there yet?”

Bagged Duallies more your speed? Check out this 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD from Sic Rydes, powered by a 6.6  Allison Duramax engine. Towing the FD to the track with this would certainly score me some style points.
