The dragster is a specialized type of race car designed to cover
a quarter mile drag strip in the shortest time possible and to
reach the highest speed doing it. It is basically an engine
mounted in a simple chassis. The weight of the engine and driver
is centered, as much as possible, over the rear wheels for best
traction. the rear tires are usually the extra wide, smooth "drag
slicks". The front tires are usually the slim motorcycle type,
mounted on spoke wheels for lightness. The Atlantis Fireball
Dragster is a typical example of the cars used all over the
country during the early to mid 1960's. The engine is a highly
modified Chevrolet V-8 with a GMC supercharger.
