heres some more pictures from the cal look forum I got today the gasser is from the state of mass. the frame cant be saved he says.. that's to bad he is now taking the gasser apart and is going to save anything he can to restore the gasser so he can race it the org. owner raced the gasser from 1972 to 1982 get this the fiber glass body was from the same mold as the EMPI jouster it has a one of kind dds cam dds 146 . the trans. is a type 3 with close ratio gears I hope the guy is not up set with me for posting his gasser on samba I just thought it was so kool and rare no one finds old gassers like this or do they I wish it was me that found this gasser I bet all you guys do too lol lol spencerfvee

hi in the 1970s the EMPI inch pincher two ran in the 11;40s 11:60s 11:80 1/4 mile .I saw the inch pincher two run at drag way 42 here in ohio in 1973 it ran 11;55 1/4 mile .then came along the thunder bug from motion mini car out of new York billy ran in the 10s in the 1/4 mile but most I gas pan cars in the 1970s ran 11;00s in the 1/4 mile some in the 12s 1/4 mile in the early 1980s is when the turbo bugs took over and the gassers were gone .in the 1980s drag racing realy changed it was mostly bracket raceing no class racing. but now a days with the old gassers making a come back fords chevys and vw gassers .. are gasser we built in 1969 is still being raced to day . we raced it for 41 years we had the record at drag way 42 here ohio as the oldest race car to run every year at drag way 42 for 41 years we sold it to a good friend who still races it every week end just my two cents spencerfvee
