Eerrr this is pretty rubbish, but I ran it through a translator and it came back with this, probably of no use what so ever, but hey ho: Since our inriktning till viss del är filter for diesel engines föll the sig själv clear that building a dieselbil. Så blev också fall, motor valet blev naturligtvis a Cummins tack vare att Fleet Guard, filterfabrikatet we represent the Ags of Cummins. A Pro-Mod chassi inköptes och arbete have fortskridit with a smärre modifieringar. Our choice of kaross föll on a kolfiberkaross with a form of Cadillac Sedan Ettenheim series 61 from 1947. Karossen tillverkar of Pelle Nyhlén AB in partnership with Filter Teknik. Our experience att inom tävla in Dragracing lies in the two classes of illustrations, and as a mechanic in the team under åren. Super Street with an Opel Kapitän 1993-1999, Mårten Johansson. Econo Gas with Chevrolet Small Block 1985-1987, Ingemar Nilsson. Dragracing räkna as No. 1 när det gäller inom speed motorsport, final rates Over 500 km / tim. Vanligtvis tävla Monday at 1 / 4 English mil = 402.33 m or the shorter variant 1 / 8 English mil = 201.17 m. Två st tävla against each other, first over the finishing line wins. There are a lot different classes, and godkänns car säkerhetsmässigt and you have license är det bara att kora. Det svenska records in the Top Fuel is 457 km / tim for 4.98 sec. Whatever it's an awesome looking bit of kit

I love diesel dragsters. The Americans have a lot of fun with their diesel pick-ups. Black smoke a-plenty!

Running it through a, erm, slightly better translator , Filterteknik are owned by Cummins thus this was built for them with a Cummins diesel. It's on a Pro-Mod chassis with a carbon fibre Cadillac 61 series Sedanette body, so no, there's absolutely no Caddy in it at all. Which doesn't stop it from being bat curse word mad and very cool ;D

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

The engineering looks immense! But I think it looks curse word! With the massive chimney sticking out of the bonnet and the curse word offset/stance (I know its ment to be like that for drag, but I guess thats why I don't like drag racing)

The Cummins engine is what the Yanks like to tweak in their Dodge Rams. They get insane power from them! Love that Caddy, it's mental!

Seriously. That is one of the coolest drag cars ive ever seen.
That carbon is exquisite, its insanely quick, and its fueled by skin-flint juice.

Awesome! I think the stack pipe is so that the smoke doesn't blind the driver (exits above his line of sight).
Dragsters always have "too much" tuck. Its not like a car where the tyre stays a similar diameter when its rolling - during the burnout and on the run the tyre grows by a huge amount, hence you need to get them in the tallest part of the bodywork so there is clearance.
The front is tucked because it still needs to steer.
