Do you love dragsters ?

Very populars in the US, dragsters slot cars are not very often seen on the european slot tracks. Why ? You can have a lot of fun with them. Most are customed ones fixed on a Scalex or Parma slot chassis base, and so unique (picture of the 55 Chevy Pro Mod concours dragster TIME BOMB). Especially when they wear very nice and original good quality painting. They are quite expansive, at least 60 or 80 euros, but most are unique and very quick on the track. In many case, it is a must to have one dragster - at least - in its slot collection. Have you some advice to buy them or a site to recommand ?
