SURFS UP: THE SURFERS DRAGSTER

The Surfers top fuel dragster fires up.

After 6 years "THE SURFERS" Top Fuel Dragster recreation was completed by Andy & Ron Marocco of DRAG CITY. Many believed that it wouldn't get done, but we proved otherwise.

Isn't this the car that Pat Foster recreated? Where is the credit for his unrewarded effort$? And, I humbly ask, is there any way Pat Foster and his family can be given the proper credit he deserves? Or will this be filed under the Pedregon Incident?

[dragstalgia]

Yes, this car is the one that we commissioned Pat Foster to build. As you mentioned, the problems associated with this build, was very much like the problems that the Pedregon's had with Pat. Although Pat Foster was a great craftsman, his book keeping needed help. Pat was paid in full over $48,000 just to build A CHASSIS. No motor driveline, fuel lines or front wheels and tires. So when you say his "unrewarded efforts$", that would hardly be the case.

Where's the scoop?

[dragstalgia]

The scoop was taken off so we could have a clear shoot at the injectors to prime during start up.

Nice to see the car running Andy ... The HRH run at Fontana on April 3 to the 5th ... maybe You can get it together for that ...

Still not sure yet. We are still trying to decide.

Thanks! The fire up was only on 84% Nitro. For future fire ups 95% to 98% will be the normal percentage.
