Turbonique
Have any of you guys read this month's Hot Rod? There is an interesting article about a company in the 60's that strapped a turbine to power the rear diffs of drag cars.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

Yeah all I found was the go kart stuff but they also had quite a few cars running fast as well. In Hot Rod they showed a 65 Chevelle that was stock motored and ran in the 9's.

I think I've got a pic of the rear of a car that was converted. It basically had the jet engine hanging right off the rear diff. Pretty neat cause they had some sort of "shifter" that allowed it to drive around with the stock motor during the week, and run 9's on the weekends. Its simply amazing this was happening back then.
