Call it a small block, call it a big block, call it something in between, but this car uses AMC power in the
form of a stock steel 401 block. Sure, it's bored and stroked to about 430 cubic inches, but it's still a pretty small
displacement motor. So we use nitrous. A LOT of nitrous.
This car MAY get a monster AMC 454 for 2009... get ready to HANG ON!

2002 Halfscale Junior Dragster
The biggest challenge for 2006 was slowing this beast down enough that Evan would not get disqualified for running
too fast for his age group. It is capable of much more, but currently runs 8.9s at 75 mph. Evan piloted this rocket
to 5 wins and a Class Winner trophy in his very first event! He added two more class wins in 2006 and even recorded
a perfect 0.000 second reaction time. Dad is jealous!
The car is also a real attraction at car shows and sponsor events. With a deafening exhaust note, a spectacular
paint job, and a 12-year old driver, it never fails to draw a crowd. Evan is a great ambassador for the sport of
Junior Dragster Racing, and talks effortlessly with kids and adults alike.

2005 Halfscale Junior Dragster
This car replaced the 2002 Halfscale in an effort to accommodate Evan's growth spurt. It has already proven itself
a winner, as Evan took home an incredible 7 (SEVEN!) Class Winner trophies, three Class Runner-Up Trophies,
and a track championship in 2008.
