  1. Never been to a Cacklefest, but I just found out they have one less than an hour from here! FUCK YES...this is the stuff that Drag Racing was made of. It's nothing (or less), now. I can remember being disappointed to see a reverse gear in a dragster...

    These are ART, man, forever and always. They ARE the last (and arguably the best) stepping stone to the amorphous corporate machine that engulfed them and ruined Drag Racing...back when you COULD go racing (even professionally) from your garage/backyard, if you knew your shit.
    The more things are refined and homogenized, the more of SOUL gets removed.

    Excellent video.

  2. All over it Assman . . . astute observations mate . . . god never intended dragsters to go in reverse . . . homogeneous, almost describes the entire world we live in, maybe that's why so many of us find kindred spirit sanctuary here on the blogscape. Kicking against the pricks, that's us man !!!
