A very special rail this one. Here's Gavin Meanley driving "The Charlie Bang Special" flathead V8 at Santa Pod Raceway in 2024. This rail was a D Class record holder back in the 60's running a best of 10.3 seconds.
This car is a loaner and lucky Gavin gets to drive it on the owners behalf, driving not only in The Wild Bunch Nostalgia Drag Racing Club class but also the The Flathead Meltdown class. It's a stunner and we are all really lucky to see this running at around 11.8s and 115mph at Dragstalgia events in 2024 & 2025...I wonder what it will do in 2026? Can't wait to see 😍
