A visit to Pacers Auto Co. in Oceanside, N.Y., netted us with a wealth of information on New York’s fabulous dragging fire wagons. Charlie and George, two of the nicest guys in drag racing, are well known as the owners of the Tasmanian Devil Double A altered. Their latest project is a rig that belongs to the Great Neck department. It is basically a ‘40 Ford with aluminum body panels, diamond-plate interior and a single bucket seat. The powertrain consists of a blown-injected hemi Chrysler with nitro pistons, Milodon support, wild cam, B&M Hydro trans and a late-model Olds rear. All four wheels are graced with Cragar-Airheart disc brakes. Full throttle starts produce wheelies every time! A full feature on the wild drag trucks and the Pacer’s unique operation is planned for the near future.

The Cars Magazine Special Drag Team headed by Editor Marty Schorr in the form of the Tasmanian Devil. These guys, The Pacers, really put on a show by winning one round of Top Fuel with their roadster.
