Default Early Maggie!

Was at Don Garlit's Museum of Drag Racing last week, and got a good look at this Bad ****. It was a real winner back in it's day. One thing I didn't know, it has a Magnacharger blower on it! Could BC, or Jerry, or anyone from Magnuson give any history on it.

We have its sibling here:



Jerry was heavily involved in top fuel drag bikes WAY back in the day.....he pioneered the blown bikes.

I was around during those days, and remember them clearly, because I take interest in ANYTHING with a supercharger on it. But.......I was too busy thrashing on our own blown alcohol dragster to go watch em in the pits. When it came time for them to run...........I went up to the fence! Man......I can STILL remember hearing Russ Collin's "Sorcerer" sitting there idling sitting UPRIGHT on it's own!! No kickstand, jackstand......nothing! Todays "Top Fuel" bikes may run a lot better then the older style, but it takes ***** to run a blown, injected motorcycle 230 mph, or better!!!

**Update**

That bike was ridden by Bo O' Brockta, and owned by Mike Grey. Terminal Van Lines was the major sponsor. The bike was originally green.
