Why we build SlingShotDragsters? Whether talking to customers on the phone, via email, or at the shows nationwide - we are always asked the same thing. WHY? Why do we build front engine cars? Why do we race them? Why not a door slammer? Why? I''ll tell you why. A guy met me at a show a few years back and asked about the dragsters. We could have went over all the great features of our diggers: Period looking but still techs, Heavier wall thickness for easy welding and superior strength, One piece main hoops from engine plate back, CAD Designed chassis and brackets, 22" Cage for even the big guys like me... etc. etc.... Funny thing is we talked about the thrill. The rush of driving. The state of mind.. that's what we are selling. We strap ourselves in these cars and fire the engine only to be hit with sensations not found anywhere else. From the motors sound to the raw unburnt fuel belching back toward you out of the pipes.. to the feel...  That body shaking, chassis vibrating, eye quivering feeling is second to none. That's just the start up. When you roll through the water and gag the throttle... man is it cool. The motor spits back fuel at you out of the headers, the tires grow in size right beside your helmet and the car has a sexy way of sashaying around as the tires bark when they come to grip the pavement. Then the run... You enter the beams and light the bulbs and..BLAP !! You mash the throttle, the front comes up and carries the wheels 30-40 ft and they set down in place as you pass the 60 ft cones... the car pulls harder and harder as you pass mid track and you are pressed firmly back in the seat. All to soon you have to reach for the chute handle and press it forward to release the laundry - pushing you now forward against the belts. Fuel off, touch the brakes, and roll out off the track onto the return road. As your digger comes to stop, you reflect on the run. How hard did it leave? Did it keep pulling through the whole run? How fast was it? Most of the time when I run my car I sit in the car for a minute or two after the run and just take it in. Not worried if I won or not, didn't stand on my brakes to win.. Just went out there and had the time of my life. BTW - that guy mentioned earlier became a dragster customer and more importantly a friend of mine. He caught the disease... and man is it infectious!! That's why we build SlingShotDragsters. And the Winner is... Every year for the last 3 years we have our Christmas Dragster Giveaway. This year the lucky winner is Ryan Miller from Oklahoma  who won a brand new Stage 1 chassis  worth $3995.00. Watch your email as we pulled the runner up and 3rd place prize winners names as well. We emailed the winners their certificates so they will be able to claim their prizes and also sent them a postcard to tell them they won a gift certificate. This year to celebrate our 25th anniversary, we are also giving runner up winners a FREE engine plate with their chassis order if they reserve a build slot for 2012 and pay their deposit by January 15th, 2012.

The trip is 2662 miles each way, and well worth it. We delivered 6 chassis on the way out and back and lived up to our slogan of "Making customers smile - one chassis at a time !" We met allot of really cool people and had tons of them sit in our cars at the show. We debuted our Competition Coupe/Sedan body and it was a huge success. We are committed to being the number 1 supplier of vintage looking front engine dragster chassis and parts. You can also check out photos of our CHRR trip on facebook by clicking here. 25 Years This year we are celebrating our 25th anniversary of business. We started out in 1986 building hot rod chassis and fiberglass bodies and realized our dream when we were able to build nostalgia front engine dragsters for a living. With over two dozen front engine cars produced last year alone, we have become the leader in front engine dragster chassis kits and components. We specialize in low slung, straight axle diggers with vintage looks and SFI compliant chassis. We love wire spoke front wheels, blowers and Hilborn stack injected motors. We also build vintage looking bodies for our dragsters and are the number one source for parts to complete your build. From transmissions to rearends, slicks to spindles and steering boxes - we got you covered. If we don't make it , we are a dealer for it, and offer products from some of the best like Mickey Thompson Slicks, Hayden Wheels, Moser Rears, Stiletto Steering Boxes and Spindles, JW Transmissions, and many others. We will not be beat on prices and service. March Meet 2011 Garage Party We had a great time hosting our March Meet Garage Party. We cackeled our stroker Ford powered digger for those present and everyone seemed to enjoy the open house. Thank you to all that attended. Click here for photos. Customer Showcase Our goal is simple - we want to bring back the glory days of drag racing. With over 2 dozen chassis kits a year produced, it is easy to see that in the next few years you will see over 100 new nostalgia dragsters at the tracks. Certified chassis with old school looks running at a track near you. We are blessed to have a great customer base who are loyal and love vintage dragsters as much as we do. Our customers are our best sales people and would love to show you their dragster builds. The Customers Cars link at the top of the page is a showcase of dragsters that our customers are building or have completed. Email us if you would like us to have one of our customers show you their dragster in person so we can set it up. Chassis Kits When you go to our chassis kits page you will see photos of our dragster and specs to show you the most complete nostalgia dragster kits available. Our base model is for running 7.50 et or slower and we also have options for 6.0-7.49 and even Nostalgia Top Fuel. The Build Sheet link at the top of the page allows you to download an Excel spread sheet with all the options available and price your own digger. After selecting the options, make sure to save the file and email it to us to see if we can give you a package deal discount to save you even more money. DriveaDragster Did you ever want to drive a nostalgia slingshot dragster - but didn't know if it was for you? Two years ago we came up with the idea of getting more people involved in the hobby of driving a SlingShot Dragster. From the sensation of a motor in front of you, open cockpit, to the tires spinning beside you - there is no other rush like it. We wanted more racers to experience the thrill of racing a digger. We manufacturer and sell SlingShot Dragster Chassis kits and are using this demo car as a way of letting a prospective customer see if he or she likes the front engine dragster format BEFORE they commit to the purchase. If the driver does decide to purchase a chassis kit they will receive a $200.00 credit toward the chassis after completing the driver school. Plans are for drivers to show up on their scheduled day with an approved helmet and driver suit. (We do not provide driving suits or helmets to keep cost down). Drivers will be limited to five drivers for the day. See our new DriveaDragster by clicking the link above. Show Schedule Make sure you check out our show schedule above. We travel nationwide to most the major nostalgia drag racing events and take our show trailer and display cars. This year we will again be at the Best of Times at Virginia Motorsports, NHRR in Bowling Green, Indy US Nationals, CHRR in Bakersfield as well as a dozen other events nationwide. Stop by and check out our dragsters at an event near you. Thankyou We want to give a big thank you to all our customers. Without them, we would not be here. Our customers are the greatest and we are very blessed to have had their support over the years. We also want to thank the tracks nationwide who promote the nostalgia races. Without their events, we all would not have a place to go to race and show off our rides. Stop back again to our website as we are always updating it. If you want to come by the shop for a shop tour, be sure to contact us in advance so we can set aside time to show you around -WORM   Click Here for Home Page WORM INC 10181 Jonestown Rd, Grantville, PA 17028 (717)-469-9676 worm@slingshotdragsters.com
