Re-uploaded purely for your enjoyment. /DRIVE removed this video from their Big Muscle channel.


Here are a few more videos of the car:
   • Sucker's Bet.   - Dru at the strip talking about the car and doing a run with a Grand National
   • Kurt Urban's sleeper Nova   - Doing a bye run at the strip, shot from the stands
   • SUPER SLEEPER NOVA!!!   - A fan spots Dru driving it on the street and gets treated to a red light launch


Apparently the car may be featured in 1320 Video's "Drag Week" DVD series per the last forum link, but it's not clear for which year(s).



Read more about the car and build below to get a full appreciation about what's under the hood (and in the fenders)!
