Forget about the Windows Vista operating system. That's already old news. There's a new star in town, and its "system configuration" is a tad different. A 2007 Hadman for a chassis, wheelbase: 265", engine: 547ci Hemi and caruration: 2 - 1150cfm Dominators. It runs on alcohol, has a PowerGlide transmission and MSD Digital 7 Programable, Biondo Mega 450 Delay box electronics. The Windows Vista Dragster is fueled, warmed up and ready to burn out some serious rubber.

Jeannine Johnson is behind the wheel, you can see her in one of the adjacent photos with three of her fans. You should be able to easily recognize her, she's the tallest. Jeannine is only 16 years old and has been racing since she was three. Born on May 25, 1990 she managed to sign Microsoft as an official sponsor of the Jeannine Johnson Racing.

"On the 10th of November we went to the Window's Vista business release in Redmond, Washington. This was the first public appearance with the new dragster. There were over 6,000 people attending, it was one of our biggest crowds ever. During the event it was announced that Windows Vista is Jeannine's Title Sponsor for the 2007 race season," reads a fragment posted on the Jeannine Johnson Racing official website.

I have managed to track down and include a set of images with the Windows Vista Dragster from various sources. So go ahead and simply click the thumbnails below in order to access larger resolution images. I don't mean to be malicious, but I am going to ask the obvious question about the Windows Vista Dragster before you do. How many times does it crash? For Jeannine's sake, let's hope that none.
