Killer Crower, driven by Eily Stafford, is a 200 mph blown, alcohol fueled, front engine, 7.0 Pro nostalgia dragster. Nostalgia cars built to today’s safety standards, look like those that raced back in drag racings’ golden age. The crew has two California Hot Rod Reunion wins, a Bowling Green National Reunion win, and a March Meet win to their credit. San Diego Gear and Axle also uses this vehicle to test new drivetrain components.
