Back in the 1950's, drag racing was relatively young. Hot Rodders were trying to get faster and faster. Racers took drastic measures to make the cars get traction off the line. One method was the Gasser-style. In characteristic Gasser style, the front suspension was converted to a Beam axle, which was mounted further down and forward than the original. The gasser style also involves removing any non-vital components. So, no bumpers, no carpets, no creature comforts, and no chrome trim. Another common thing to see on gassers is a big engine under the hood. |
