Motes & Williams Twin Engine Dragster 3

The Motes and Williams car was `70 & `71 NHRA World Champion in Top Gas. In 1970 it won the Springnationals and World Finals. In 1971 it won the Springnationals and U.S. Nationals.I hope you enjoy my current Motes & Williams footage. This was taken Oct 2001, Mike Newkirk at the wheel. RC Williams and Greg Cook starting the car and me, I'm behind the camera. I don't remember, but this was one of the first times the car ran since we restored it. Wish I had my camera with me at John Laubhan's shop during the rebuilding.

Check out some of the other 11 video clips of this car and you will see different tires on the car in some of them

Still dont get why they limit these nostalgia diggers to such small slicks.I know they're period correct but they need BIGGER slicks.

Check out some of my other videos of this car. We did put on bigger slicks.

The Freight Train's success in the 1960's (twin small block Chevys) convinced everyone that twins could work successfully. Unfortunately when the NHRA did away with top gas (AA/GD) that did away with twin powered cars because no one in AA/FD ever had any success with two motors.
