I've heard rumors about another drag bug being built in queensland at the moment, something really extreme and big dollars!!! eg six figures, any
ideas? Is that rods? I saw the frame being built at leons a few years ago? the engine I think was done by leons also? with some super gearbox?

Welcome Peter, just wondering what times was dak-a-tak running and what times are you aiming for after the rebuild?

Yep that is Pete's chassis.
Good to see you posting up here Pete, the drag bug is looking sweet...can't wait to see it run down the strip when finished!
It'll be nice to have a few quick street bugs running around brissy in the near future (Rod's of course, Brad's (2110) and mine (2L
typeIV) will be on the road in the next few months - definitely for valla).
