MOONEYES DRAGMASTER





Here's one of my favorite Dragmaster dragsters. This is the Mooneyes Dragmaster with the Mark IV chassis. This is an exact duplicate that Dode Martin and Jim Nelson built at the Dragmaster company in Carlsbad, California. Pretty cool stuff! Take care Dragmaster gang and I'll post soooon!

Dragmaster Darts at NHRA Museum

Yours truly at the NHRA Museum in Pomona 2006. I was measuring both Dragmasters as reference for my Dragmaster Dart restoration. Real cool guys at the museum. I was able to roll out the cars, remove seat padding and do all the measuring and photo work I needed. Thanks, NHRA!
This is the blue Dragmaster I started with. I'll be posting the gold Dart soon. What great looking machines!

Here's a great profile rear shot, featuring the famous Dragmaster Dart rear roll bar areas.
Nice close-up shot of the side chassis area where the motor bolts to the frame. Those side plates hold the engine mounts.
