    I watched it race for many years at Indy... both with Chevies and later Hemis! Always a treat.

    As you know, there were many other Top Gas Dragster twins. One of my faves was the Odd Couple, which ran a Hemi and a "dinky block" Chevy.

    Since I grew up near Indy, I went from '62 to '75... and got to see (I think) all of these run, and more!

    The Gopher State Timing Association... with it's backwards scoops... was often praised for it's beauty.

    The Freight Train was even faster with the Hemis!!!
