*The Grass Hopper* 1965 Ford Econoline
This 65' Econoline must sound amazing! It looks like it's running a set of Jet Boat headers for an exhaust system.
For power this beast has a big-block 460 Ford V8 sporting a polished 8-71 blower, it's sitting on top of 2 Rude Ron's four-inch spacers.
Mixing the fumes are two Edelbrock Carbs. with an Enderle Big and Ugly injector scoop catching the fresh air.
Shifting is handled by a heavy-duty C6 Automatic Transmission.Then the power is sent to the ground via a Dana 60 Rear End with 3.73:1 Gears with a locker .
For stopping power a set Wilwood 4-Wheel Disc Brakes are at each corner.

Brad McBride Racing
Brad McBride is the builder and driver of this 1963 Type 3 Fastback, known as Blitzkrieg.

His father owned land that's now the pit area beside Piedmont Dragway in North Carolina. His father raced a roadster and later raced a top alcohol funny car called the Starr Rider well into the 1990's. So you could say it was in Brad's DNA that he was destined to be a drag racer. We asked Brad how he started racing and what his earliest memories were. He stated the first thing he raced was 20" Schwinn 5-speed bike when he was 12 or 13 years old. Even early on he was a fabricator and equipped the bike with wheeli...

A father and son duo make a great team ! Joey Arrowsmith stated that the GTO he currently has is the first car he raced professionally, but It all started with his father. Joey went on to say that they didn't see eye to eye when it came to what they liked. He is a muscle car go as fast as you can guy, where I was into mini-trucks and low-rider's. After Joe had his own kids he started going back to the track with his father again and fell in love with it all over again. The two have been going strong for 9-10 years now side-by-side racing. ...
Lee Smith's "Haulin-Hemi" A/FX Belvedere
Durring a ban from NASCAR during the 1965 season. The Plymouth AFX program was created to maximize the potential of the 426 Hemi engine in straight line acceleration competitions. The AFX class was Factory Experimental , the A was the largest engine displacement class. The Plymouth engineers found that if they could alter the weight distribution to create more traction for the powerful 426 Hemi engine, it would result in quicker elapsed times. By the rules, there was no rule as to where the wheelbase needed to be located. So the Plymouth and Dodge engineers moved or altered the wheelbase forward under the body for two reasons 1. to move the weight of the Hemi engine closer to the rear axle and 2 to put more weight over the rear tires. Smith was an Illinois racer who had a sponsor association with Learner’s Sales & Service, one of the largest Imperial sellers in America. That and his success in 1964 had gotten him one of ju...
