That dragster weighed next to nothin', but it was built by Alan Johnson and Alan doesn't do much before reasoning out the process. I asked him why it still had drum brakes on it. "Think about it, you use the brake.s 4 times and the burnout and staging is 3 of them, and they weigh less." The A100 pickup weighed about the same as most A Bodies 3000 lbs. neighborhood.
