Maybe some confusion also came from the term "sand rail"... which surfaced years after the dragster terminology. The VWs would naturally be linked to that.

I'm doing this from memory, sso cut me some slack.
In 59 or 60 Don Kraft stripped everything unecessary from a lakes car and ran it at the Santa Anna strip and turned about 110. His competetors called it a rail job and purpose built dragsters were called rails for years till the advent of the long wheelbase cars when they became slingshots. Personally, I still call them rails.theres no foo like an old foo

I guess we should know what his car is.
He said a "Volve bug". Is that a Volvo?... or a Volkswagen?
