Help with identification…

[Board42]

Picked up this dragster 20+ years ago as a gift for a friend of mine who recently gave it back.
I have no info or knowledge about it but am eager to get it up and running. Any help with ID and parts sources would be appreciated.

Yup. That's what I thought! I think that is a Pacesetter chassis. Now I could be wrong, because I haven't seen one in YEARS. But my friend's dad had one years ago. They used to race them at the drag strip here. Bad to the bone man!

Here is some info...

So much fun

That one could be custom made too. That stuff was really big back in the day, and there were guys building them from scratch. So it could be a home built. But as soon as I saw that, it felt like I remembered it. Hopefully you can do some digging now and find some info. They still race them I believe.
