2 Dragsters Filled with History!
Richmond, Virginia brothers started Dostal Brothers Racing, (Both Viet Nam Veterans) Together they built and raced cars for many years. One of the brothers, John was licensed and started Dostal Aeromotive. He had Over 40 years of experience. He loved both racing and aviation.
The estate is selling two Dostal Brothers Dragsters.
The Black Dragster named “Last Call for Alcohol”, was a labor of love. Johns brother and partner in cars passed away before this dragster was completed. John finished the car but never raced it. The brothers built many dragsters. Each creation topping the last. “Last Call” was their masterpiece. This Nostalgic Dragster has a 540 C.I. Blown & Alcohol injected BBC, built by Jim Oddy. Paired with a Bruno’s Automotive BRT converter Drive transmission, sitting on a 152” wheelbase chassis designed by John.
The Yellow Dragster, modified by the Dostal Brothers is called “Goin’ Bananas”. The brothers purchased this car and replaced the engine with a blown small block Chevy. Originally called “Stage Fright”, the car came from Joe Souza and the Hot Rod Chassis Shop in Yuba City, California. The car was created for racing in nostalgia fuel classes. It was completed but never raced.
*(Joe Souza also constructed Aircraft for over 25 years. His bandit Gyro is on permanent display in the Smithsonian. His father, of Adco Racing, supplied transmissions to racers for over a quarter of a century. He organized the original Northern Pro Gas Assn. He also worked with Dave Urahara and John Schumaker.)
