Pollution Packer!....

do any of you remember it? It was the fastest and quickest 1/4 mile machine for about 20 years. It was giving an exhibition run and was a school project from somewhere. I was at Columbus in 73 racing at the Springnationals, and this "bellytanker" with motorcycle tires was making its maiden run. The poor guy driving did not have a clue what to expect. I was at the 1/8 mile mark, and it was slow getting off the line, and then WHOOSH, it was so fast that the diver was barely able to hit the chute to slow it down. He was having a hard time seeing, as his eyes were bugged out! That thrust motor looked like you could hold it all in your outstretched arms. Louder than a T/F car, and it burned a gallon a second. 5:22 ET at 322 MPH! He looked to stop in less than a couple of hundred feet. It never exceeded that time again to my knowledge.
