OH, THAT HOT ROD DODE!

DODE MARTIN HITS THE 1320 AGAIN!!!

Dragmaster's co-founder, Dode Martin will be returning to competitive drag racing, at least as a car owner. The new car shown, called "The Dragmaster Trainer" was completed after 14 months and tested at Barona Drag Strip. Some of the driving was done by Dode himself! Man! At the age of 82, he obtained his NHRA competition driver's license, earlier this year. After 45 years he thought it would be interesting and fun!!! Good luck and have fun, Dode. 

DRAGMASTER "TWO THING"

Hey Dragsters!!! Here's a  few real boss shots of the Dragmaster "Two Thing." Built in 1959 by Dragmaster's Dode Martin and Jim Nelson, the "Two Thing" was powered by two 354 cid Chevrolet motors, which sat side-by-side. It set a top speed at the 1960 NHRA Nationals of a little over 171 mph!!! Impressive. Thank you John Lindstrom for the bottom photos.

MICKEY THOMPSON "DRAGMASTER"

Mickey Thompson in my opinion was one of the hardest working people in drag racing. A champion in the truest sense of the word. 

Mickey Thompson's Dragmaster with Mark IV chassis in 1961. Thompson loved his Pontiacs.
More Mickey Thompson Dragmaster shots. These were also 1961. Photos by Pete Garramone.
