Petersen and Fritz dragster

[1] Purchased by Herman Petersen in 1974, it was built on a Woody chassis with a blue-anodized aluminum body,[1] which strongly resembled a contemporary Can-Am car.

[2] It was powered by a Donovan 392 cu in (6,420 cc) Chrysler hemi (when most of the competition was running 426 cu in (6,980 cc) hemis).

[1] This, plus the 200 lb (91 kg) weight disadvantage thanks to the full body, meant it was only capable of mid-6 second e.t.s, when conventional fuellers were running low sixes.

[1] The car ran a total of just nineteen times before being retired.

It was restored by Petersen in the 1980s, and now resides in the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing in Ocala, Florida.
