Stinger
Dragster
I never had any
thoughts of owning a dragster but I stumbled upon this one for the right
price and decided I'd regret it later if I passed it up. I did not get it
in "racing" form as it has sat for 6-7 years since it has been
raced and a few parts were misplaced during that time. The dragster will
be converted to 2.3L EFI power in hopes of being the first person to take
a stock 2.3L longblock into the 9 second zone.
