The Terror of So.Cal...Limited-Edition print (13"x19")of 660 signed and number by the Artist

The Beebe Bros. and Sixt terrorized Southern California when they debuted this new car. The car was vertually unbeatable for the first three months they campaigned the car. Right out of the box, this car set new track records at Irwindale and Long Beach, which at the time was the Mecca of hardcore drag racing. Dave Beebe drove the car to a 7.52 at Irwindale, and a 7.46 at Long Beach. The best speed at that time was 213.76mph, blazing the tires all the way down the track

Lee Sixt built the 143" wheelbase car himself (except for the body built by Doug Kruse), including designing and manufacturing many of the engines components.

To me, as an artist, this style of dragster epitomises what drag racing is all about. If you looked up the word "dragster" in the dictionary, I'm sure they would have a picture of a car that looked just like this one. Stylistically,this car is now 40 years old, but will forever be the style that defines the word, "Dragster!"
