    I found these two pictures on Facebook from a group I am in. Thought I would share here. This car ran at Connecticut Dragway back in the day, where these pics were taken.

    Is the rope tied to the header? Looks like it was a nicely build car.

    It does look like it is tied to the header.

    And yes it looks nicely built, especially considering it was a brand new car.

    Found another picture of a Mav. Pretty cool seeing older drag cars from days gone by.

    Also found these of a Maverick Funny car. This one had clearly had an engine fire at some point and had yet to be repainted. Pretty cool.
