Goto http://www.dragboatrace.com and click on "Rick's Projects" . That is the boat progress begining to end. Then you can email Rick and ask all kinds of questions.

Yes it is. Here is a pic of the original rigging of it back in the day.
This is when they first put the Hemi in it. Old Rigger might know the story on it. Jack McClure was the original rigger.

What else would a Rogers Dragstar Have?
You'd probably find more Rogers owners over on the Jet board, and posted the same question.
