Go to the track and ask any diehard doorslammer racer or fan their opinion of dragsters and you’ll probably hear something to the tune of “they don’t have any personality.” In years gone by, dragsters were little more than 200-some inches of pipe, an aluminum body, an engine, and a drivetrain. And they were about a dime a dozen at any race track in the country, which is perhaps why the doorslammer crowd so detests them. But the advent of the four-link rear suspension and a trend to create the ultimate of show cars has gone a long way to giving dragsters some personality, and although they’re still coming out of the woodwork. today’s dragsters are as cool as a race car comes.

Our friends at B&M tipped us to one of their premier customers, Chrome-Worx Performance Products and Chrome-Worx Ultra Cars, who have a track record of building some of the baddest Top Dragster, Super Comp, and bracket dragster chassis in the business. Taking the bare bones concept of a dragster the max, these cars are show quality from front to rear, from the custom colors on the front wheels to paint scheme-matched intake manifolds and valve covers, to mirror-shine chrome finishes on the four-link suspension, the headers, and anything else that can be chromed.

Chrome-Worx has used B&M’s Pro Bandit shifter on the race cars they produced for years, giving competitors the best in performance and functionality. The Pro Bandit shifters, which B&M produces specific for Powerglide-equipped rear engine dragsters, have machined billet bodies, reverse lockout, a neutral safety switch, a polished aluminum stick, and other great features.
