Ron Scrima’s most notable piece of work after building the all conquering Albertson Olds dragster was the so-called Scrima-liner, one of the earliest attempts to streamline a slingshot dragster for enhanced performance. The car was beautiful and the construction was virtually flawless, but like nearly all streamlining attempts in drag racing, the added weight of the body could not be overcome with the potentially added aero benefits of the body. Ron built this 60s era car under the name “Exhibition Engineering”. It was powered by a 392” Chrysler and was also driven by Pat Foster.
