I love these old pen and ink cutaway drawings, it'd be really great to get some as posters for my son's bedroom wall. He's only 9 months old but he waves at the Fredde Fagerstrom poster every time he goes past :-)

Didnt the Kuhl and Olson car win the last drag race? Wasnt that the same car in 72 or a different one?

Cool pictures. Do you have any of the last Skilton rear engined dragster?
