NITROGEEZERS > Norb Locke's "Grandpa's Toy" typifies a Chassis Research dragster circa 1960. One of the first "kit" or ready-made dragster chassis available, cars like this were once ubiquitous.

NITROGEEZERS > The revitalized "204-ChiZler" car of Chris Karamesines setting up base at NHRR. Note the commonality in basic chassis to Locke's car in the previous photo.

NITROGEEZERS > How quickly things evolved, as this ten-year later version of Karamesines' AA/FD from the NHRA Museum so clearly illustrates.

NITROGEEZERS > A couple of other cars brought from the NHRA Museum included the "Sour Sisters" car of Safford-Gaide-Ratican (rear) and Larry Dixon's "Rattler." Both Safford and Dixon came to NHRR to drive these cars in the Cacklefest.

NITROGEEZERS > "Pandemonium" Barracuda rolls off the trailer for another NHRR appearance. One of the well-known "S/FX" racecars from the transition period between FX and full-fledged Funny Car, Cory Lee now drives it on crowd-pleasing exhibition and match race passes.
