The first Top Gas winner in NHRA Gatornationals history? How about Gordon Collett's twin Chrysler dragster in 1970. (DRO file photo)

Famed Top Fuel driver "T.V. Tommy" Ivo did much in that class to earn a well- deserved racing reputation. However, it is doubtful that any car he drove was anymore recognizable than his fabulous four-engine Buick gas dragster. (DRO file photo) It's bad enough that Bill Coburn's "Iron Mistress" sported two non-inline blown Chevy engines in his dragster. But four slicks and two front, thick rubbered jobs? This is circa 1961, same as Ivo. (DRO file photo)

This bold soul entered a rear-engined twin carbureted Chevy and ran it in Pro Comp at AHRA national events. This happened at Kansas City International Raceway. (Jeff Burk photo)

This is Rod Dunne and Don Hampton's "American Bandstand" Corvette. Twin side-mounted Chevies under glass. Weird. (DRO file photo)
