A. That's an F'n CREAM DREAM! Love the clean lines on that paint and the color combo.

B. Are those purple threaded body posts made by Pro Mod?

C. Who makes that receiver and what year was that pic taken?

Curious minds wanna know...

Thanks, it was kind of a Ramchargers homage with my own colors.

Pro Mod is the class (like Pro Stock or Funny Car). The purple body mounts were vintage Trinity oval items.

C. Who makes that receiver and what year was that pic taken?

The receiver is Spektrum DSM, the SR3500 model. I use them in touring cars and 1/12th scale cars. The photo was taken in 2008 just before I drag raced for the last time.

Thanks for the info. Pro Mod isn't a brand?? I clearly know little about drag racing!!!

Nope, the car is made by Grand Motorsports. The former 8-cell class was called Pro Mod.
