There's no shortage of reasons why

seemingly normal men and women

invest untold dollars and even more

hours to indulge their passions as drag

race competitors. Certainly toward the top

of that list would be more than a small de-

sire to be noticed. And while there are no

shortages of ways to make oneself seen

while at the wheel, there are a few more

friend Barbara and D.A. Jr., the hard working machine

shop owner from Pittsburgh already has the new "Magic"

cranking out 5.80s at 246 mph, with the promise of much,
