....Old School style of course!!! This is a good shot of the Blue Max at Irwindale 1977. Recently Del Worsham and his father Chuck built a replica of the old Jungle Jim Funny Car and did some "fun runs" at one of the last national meets of the season. I bet that was a hoot going from a modern FC to an old schooler.... Anyway, hope all you nitro heads enjoy the pic.

FED's....what were they thinking....I think i'll sit behind a huge blown V8, clearly blocking my vision, while resting my balls on a ford 9" rear end, bury my right foot for 1320ft and see what happens. Yeah, that seems like a good idea....insanity.

You sound like my buddy Don.... He thinks I'm nuts for wanting to drive one....but now he'll scream off on a rice rocket in a second. None of it makes any sense LOL!

Oh dont get me wrong Ken, it would be a blast to drive one....its just so backwards and fundamentally wrong in soo many ways....then again a lot of things i really like are ; )

A:
That's a good way of putting it....backwards and fundamentaly wrong... That's the exact words Don uses. He always tells me "I'll crew for ya....but I'm not climbing in that 'thing' " Says the same thing about Drag Boats too <shaking head> Another something I'd like to do at least once too....
I need to find some good Drag Boat pics...... The "liquid 1/4 mile" MuHaHaHaHa
