Crusher,
e-mail [email protected] down in West Carrolton. Fred is involved in both 1/4 scale oval track racing and scale drag racing and would know more on them. A few years back one of the hobby stores in NJ had what I believe was a RACO 7' long rail. You might also check with New Era and RACO to see if they still make them.

Thanks folks for your reply's. I know about the 1/4th scale dragsters and funny cars and they are kinnda like home made and very big I think they look nice and sweet. But I was wondering if there was a company that had something more smaller like 600mm in length with the zenoah 23 or 26 cc with an highly detailed body on the level of FG. Thanks again for your reply's[sm=thumbup.gif] Thanks again for FMURRY e-mail.

No one makes them at a level of FG... Thank god! MK pacesetter used to make a 1/6 scale funny car. Your best bet is 1/4 scale, the quality is just awesome and the engines start at 55cc and go up to 100cc! They also look just as good with the body off as they do with it on, just like the real thing. Pacesetter and New Era were the 2 big MFGs of them. Be prepared to pay in the $1500-$3000 range for one though. Oh yea, Raco never made one and they are out of business as well as Pacesetter and New era.

As I said earlier, the company is going to make them, with a maximum engine size of 29cc, so you can use the PPH motor, we are limited to size of motor and noise in Europe.

Crusher,
Larry Cross of Quarter Scale Motor Sports.com still makes 1/4 scale drag cars.

actually he does not make any dragsters. He makes a stock car that could be used for a pro street dragster... but its belt driven and does not look too much like the real deal with the body off.
