2010 Terhune 4 Link Dragster
 Driver: Andy Blaes
In 2010, Andy used his artistic abilities to create a brand new paint design for his Terhune dragster. Sporting a new chassis and a 565 cubic inch Chevy motor, this dragster makes a powerful 1000 horsepower. It is fuel injected and runs a time of 4.80 seconds in the 1/8th mile at 143 miles per hour. Though rarely raced in the 1/4 mile, it has run 7.63 seconds at 176 mph at this distance. She runs on alcohol and burns 2 gallons in an 1/8th mile pass. This dragster runs in the Super Pro or Electronics class with a computerized delay box that is set before each round, telling the car when to launch from the starting line.

1955 Chevy
 Driver: Adam Blaes
This car has a 406 Chevy small block engine and turns 700 horsepower. The rear end is a Ford 9 inch with 4.86 gears. A chassis car, which is an after market frame to reduce the car's weight, it tops the scales at only 2,150 pounds. The front clip, trunk lid, and doors are all fiberglass. This door car will also run in the Super Pro (Electronics) class, indicating that it, too, has a computerized delay box. John and Adam purchased the car's frame and built this car by investing several months of intensive joint labor. This car is Adam's "Pride and Joy".
