A dragster is a specialized competition automobile used in drag racing. Dragsters, also commonly called "diggers", can be broadly placed in three categories, based on the fuel they use: gasoline, methanol, and nitromethane. They are most commonly single-engined, though twin-engined and quad-engined designs did race in the 1950s and 1960s.
It featured bicycle front wheels, a low-mounted, front-sloping rear wing, and a mid-mounted engine (placed further ahead of the rear axle than most similar dragsters). [1] The body was a pronounced wedge shape, and covered the front of the slicks [ 2 ] (unlike Wynns Stormer , which had a more conventional body and broad wedge fairings over the ...

These early dragsters were nicknamed "rails", due to the ...
