[1] Built by Roger Lindwall, Re-Entry seems to have benefitted from his experience in hydroplane racing, featuring a semi-enclosed cockpit and enclosed engine and rear end, mated to a typical Top Fuel car's bicycle wheels, dropped axle, and zoomie pipes.
Re-Entry was powered by a 392 cu in (6,420 cc) hemi.
[1] Re-Entry debuted at Cordova Dragway, Illinois, in 1966, where she turned in the first 200 mph (320 km/h) pass for a rear-engined dragster.
[1] At Indianapolis the next weekend, driver Wayne Hill clocked a 9.52 second pass at 201.34 mph (324.03 km/h), only to have the car pirouette through the traps, wrecking it.
[1] Lindwall did not rebuild the car and quit drag racing.
