Strange Cars at the Drag Strip

Here is a video collection of some strange cars that I have seen over the years at the drag strip. I'm not making fun of any of these vehicles because I respect anyone that puts in the time to get a vehicle out to the track and race it. But sometimes you ask yourself "what were they thinking"? And of course the answer doesn't matter because obviously that is what the person is into and it is much better to have a variety of vehicles showing up at the track rather than everything the same.
Point in example is the first car that is the Gasser Pontiac Fiero, the owner of this car wanted to pass on his knowledge of fabrication onto his Grandkids and found a cheap platform of a vehicle to start hacking into. And once he was done it might not have been the fastest car at the track but for sure it was the most talked about vehicle there, and nobody would question that once this guy touched that Fiero he obviously made it better. Because I can guarantee you that if a regular Fiero pulled up to the line nobody would give it a second look at all.

We have some interesting ones at the drag strip i go to. There are a few Fairmont Wagons, Ford Escort, and a Gremlin. I loved that old 77 F100. My dad races a 79 F150 and it runs 12s. People are shocked when it runs because it is all original in terms of body and no fiberglass and it still has the steal bumpers. Just a big 460, some street slicks, and ladder bars ad stuff like that. It is fun to ride around town in it

His is all motor tho and I have a 150 shot and race hard tire no prep. Anyways..Pinto rock..screw the haters..

Then it 'simply' buzz down the quarter , while the Hemis and other Big Inchers were dancing about on the line making a very entertaining scene trying to find grip ! I think I've worked out the lack of 'steam' with the Fiero . I think the exhaust pipes are in the wrong place . Am I right ? It's all right , I'm just being silly .

Not a race, but one day about 20-25 years ago, I came up on a 60's Dodge panel van at the highway service drive light. Tubbed rear with huge drag tires, loud rumpeting engine. I gave a thumbs up and he nodded back. Light changed and he took off, exhaust blasting, WAAAAAA... No wheelie, no spinning of wheels. The sound of the engine disappeared as quick as the van down the street, it was really hauling tail. I wouldn't know the drag times or speed it would be capable of, but it was really moving away and getting smaller at a very rapid rate. Haven't seen it before that or since.

There are interesting rides all over the place. These are two notable ones I've seen locally.... A car that was once a rear-engine funnycar(they existed) rebuilt into a short dragster with side pods like a formula car. A rear engine 80s VW rabbit pickup, using a turbo VR4, shorty glide & 9"; the driver was moved to the center and forward to make it work. It's always fun when your car turns heads because it's a freak show of engineering. 😆

At first I thought the Gremlin was odd. Then the Pacer showed up. Damn. Too much traction for sure. Would be a lady killer if he could keep the nose in the ground.

Yea, one can sure find some strange stuff at W.I.R. sometimes... My buddy used to race his lowered, 406 SBC powered Astro van there in the late 90s, early 2000s. And I've witnessed plenty of other strange creations there myself during the years of drag racing I did there.
