All Gone! - The Wheeler Dealer diecast model is sold out!  In 2001 1320 Inc., of High Point, North Carolina, introduced the first six cars in their "The Fuelers" series of 1/24th-scale diecast models featuring historic front-engined dragsters from the 1960s. The original Wheeler Dealer was the second in the series, the first being Tony Nancy's "Sizzler" car, with Don Garlits' 1968 "Swamp Rat XII" number three, Dick Kalivoda's "Joker" number four and so on. Orders for all current 1320 Inc. releases may be placed online at Don Ewald's Fuel Dragsters...We Did It For Love website.

If you're a true gearhead, you no doubt watch all forms of motorsports on The Tube. For up-to-the-minute National television listings, I like Canadian George Webster's "Race Fan TV" site for finding out the broadcast/cablecast times for just about any motorsports discipline worth watching. (If you like his site, please email George, and give him "a pat on the back." His is truly a labor of love!)

The nostalgia drag racing-related phenomena known as "Cacklefest" has grown by leaps and bounds in the past six years or so. Nostalgia competitor and fan, Ron "Big Yohns" Johnson, has created a new web site devoted to this ever-growing segment of the sport. Learn the history of the "craze," and check out the schedule to see if there will be a Cacklefest "coming soon" to your neighborhood.

Back in the early days of organized drag racing, beginning in the mid-1950s, the weekly publication Drag News was the most widely read source for the latest news and views. It was noted especially for it's Standard 1320 class records list, and the fiercely fought Standard 1320 "Mr. Eliminator" challenges for supremacy in the various dragster classes.  Many of the movers and shakers that were in the headlines in those heady days are now a part of today's Standard 1320 Group - some 300+ died-in-the-wool drag fanatics and Nitro Junkies of all ages and genders. Check out the 1320 membership roster...how many folks do you remember - 
or know?

Drag Racing in Hawai'i?  You bet! Three of the four major Hawaiian islands currently have drag strips. Of the three, only one of them has a website: Maui Raceway Park.. The Big Island may be the first island to have two tracks, with a new multi-purpose racing facility in the Kona district now in the planning stages. Also, photographer Mike Thompson, a Big Island resident, covers the drags action statewide. Check out Islandracer.com for Mike's latest pics. (O'ahu's Hawai'i Raceway Park officially "closed its doors" in April, 2006. The future of drag racing on that island is very much in limbo at this point in time. Too bad...)
