One of the biggest Funny Car rivalries was the Snake vs. Mongoose. I saw them many times race against each other.

, I didn't realize the props counter-rotated. I guess that's what you call it.

Yes. The A400M uses 8-bladed scimitar props in a counterrotating configuration on each wing. They (Airbus) refers to it as the DBE (Down Between Engines) feature. Pretty sure it’s the first use of that concept on a 4-engine turboprop.

I wish I had a dollar for every dollar I spent on Hurst shifters and Hooker headers back in the day.
Quadrajets and double pumpers were a dime a dozen.
Intake was cool. Exhaust and torque delivery was king.
283 cubic inch would wind up like a Swiss watch.

Yes I am an Old Drag Racer so I love old drag racing cars. Here's one that most have never seen. Ms. Hurst.

Linda Vaughn, Miss Hurst Golden Shifter! I've met her a number of times and once drove against her in a formula race that she competed in, she was a lady and a safe, fair driver.
