A Few New Ones
New Release
Palms Tony Pedregon $5 NHRA Funny Car Champion
04-16-05
Limited to 2500
When I was a kid, I followed drag racing with a passion. Don Garlits was my favorite driver but I liked many others...Tommy Ivo, the first driver to break the 5 second barrier, come to mind. I've lost touch with the sport over the years though I occasionally watch it on TV while flipping channels.
The Palms has issued new chips honoring 2 drivers, I presume father and son (like I said, I've lost touch so I could be wrong). This isn't the first drag racing release from The Palms. The chips really capture the power of the cars. These things generate 8000 horsepower (!!) and reach speeds of over 325 MPH within 4 seconds...unreal!
