Gordini's Garage built a model T dragster from a rusty body and a pile of parts in just over three weeks, then raced it at the 2003 HAMB Drags. The "HAMB Digger Killer" had some teething problems at it's first race, but still managed to run in the 13's despite a faulty transmission. Look for the HDK to tear up some blacktop in October at the Kontinentals' "Day of the Drags" in Austin, Texas.
