My two uncles have ALWAYS been dragster obsessed since well before I was ever born. One is more of a mechanic and the other is more of a driver type so at close-to-50 years of age, they decided to go for it. They bought a top-alcohol dragster and have run it for a couple years now. They've blown through a lot of money and parts (the cost for certifying parts alone is extreme) but are living their dreams. The whole thing drives my grandfather (their father) insane due to the time/money involved. Fittingly, they named their car "Dad's Disgust".

The just bought a nitro funny car that should hit the track in the next couple of years.

They always need sponsors if anyone wants to get involved!

Here is a youtube clip of my uncle Scott almost killing himself and totaling the car. Talk about a hell of a save!
