For the unitiated, these old drag race cars are too evil to race anymore (current "nostalgia" cars have a LOT of safety upgrades), but their dramatic fire-up and distinctive crackling idle make an instant flashback to "the day". Much of the restoration has been done by the original craftsmen, and these were from the era where every car was handbuilt and unique.
