If there is one year in drag racing history when the sport went totally haywire, 1965 is it. It was the time when funny cars changed by the week, the 426 Hemi first showed up in a top fuel dragster, and everyone and their brother was experimenting with aerodynamics.
In this video we look at one of the most unique top fuel dragsters of all time, Nye Frank's Pulsator. This car used two nitromethane burning, injected small block Chevy engines, a custom built chassis, and a handmade "aerodynamic" shell to take on all comers.
The story is one of an amazing era where experimentation was the way of the world at the drags. Nye Frank was a fascinating and brilliant guy who could make anything and did over the span of his life.
The Pulsator and other aerodynamic experiments are explored here as well as the Pulsator II that was the follow up act. This is one for the ages!
