I thought I'd repost this as it is still relevant to todays NTRA Gassers. Note that this is a re-post of a post I made years ago after a race at PSD. This class was N-F/C Tjets which shared the same chassis as the Gasser class.

I thought I'd post these pictures and info of some of the cars that were successful at last years Fall Nat's. Although these are BB/FC they still are the same chassis set ups as the Gassers.
