The filename is http://www.topendtales.com/images/wallpape...hietto_1024.jpg
So I started searching for MARCO MASCHIETTO. On that TopEndTales.com website, the picture came from 2004.
I found this:
http://www.eurodragster.com/live/2004veide...s/thursday.html
At the "2004 Veidec Nitro Festival Torsdag" it listed this:
A great fourth qualifying session of the day for Competition Eliminator racer Bruno Bader as he took the Eurodragster.com/Speedflow Perfect Light Award with a 0.000 Reaction Time. Bruno is 700 SEK richer and his wife and Crew Chief Franzi tells us that this was his first ever perfect light. He picked a very good time to do it! There were no changes to the top five in today's final session:
Antti Horto -0.728 7.222/300.28
Peter Eliasson -0.647 7.253/310.03
Janne Ahonen -0.607 7.395/292.08
Leif Pettersson -0.527 7.363/292.73
Marco Maschietto -0.501 7.299/319.84
Did that Tib run 7.299? I wonder if it has stock internals.... [/joke]

"Marco Maschietto went still quicker in his wild turbo Hyundai, clocking 7.208/316.66 in this session. Seventeen of twenty four qualifiers went under index. "
On a German forum, I read, "Marco Maschietto körde ju dubbelturbo-V8 i en Ascona A för nåra år sedan. Tror att det var Dr.Ernie som byggt motorn. Grymt frän bil!"
And on another German forum (www.dragracing.de),
"Im Feld der Comp hat der schwede Marco Maschietto einen Hyundai als AT/A aufgebaut,
mit 403 cui (6,6L) Turbo rennt das Ding 0,5 unter Index auf 7,29/319 und war 7.Quali, aber auch 1. Runde raus."

I can't find any more pictures of this car or the full list of mods.
I believe, I saw a video of the driver being interviewed. Not much on the car tho.

it's been talked about here a few times now. all i know is it's not a hyundai engine. i think it's a chevy. so it doesn't quite pass for a hyundai. i might be wrong, it was a long time ago.
