The shot of Mickey Thompson with the twin Pontiac (two different head designs?) was classic. Eddie Hill had a twin engine dragster for awhile also. TV Tommie Ivo (spell) had one with four nail head Buick's at one time. I know -- I'm dating myself now.

The old Texas vs. California meets at Amarillo Dragway in the 60s brought some awesome machinery. TAZ
