not your daddy's buick ...

The Nelson Motorsports race cars are modified Buicks based on the Terminator Chassis design by Mark Elliott of Webster City, Iowa. The race cars are propelled by any of a variety of engines, including Chevy small block 355, 383, and 406's. Dale Woodard, car 04 driver and owner of DW Engines, is responsible for most of the race engine preparation and assembly.

There are many items in and on these race cars that we cannot discuss in detail, such as the 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor, solid rocket boosters, military spec GPS navigation system, and Department of Energy approved nuclear reactor core. The reactor, by itself, is capable of supplying the entire state of California with enough power for 183 years. We prefer, however, to expend that energy during race night ;)

Can your daddy's Buick do that? Gentlemen, start your engines!
