TR6 Drag Racing

As an update to John’s link to the TR6 drag racing, here’s some photos from the British v8 meeting in Indianapolis in 2010.  The car is owned by Dale Knapke.  We were at O’Rielly Raceway in Indianapolis when Dale lost traction on the straight after running over spilled coolant and hitting the concrete wall.  He had some minor injuries but was able to come to dinner that evening with some bandages and a neck brace.  He has since rebuilt the car, lengthening the frame and hood to meet NHRA rules for the car’s class and upgrading the drivetrain.  The car will run under 10 seconds in the ¼ mile with the Ford 2.3 liter turbocharged motor.
