Slingshot Rail Dragster Class
IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 23, 2012 Troy, MI – On Sunday, July 29, the Concours will present a class of Slingshot Rail dragsters at the 34th Annual Concours d’Elegance of America at St. John’s. Born over 50 years ago, Slingshots get their name from the extreme rearward positioning of the driver’s torso behind the axle and slicks. In the early years of drag racing, the front-engine slingshot dragsters stood above the rest. The cars, also known as Top Fuel dragsters, run on a mix of approximately 90% nitromethane and 10% methanol rather than gasoline or simply methanol.
