I attended the Nostalgia Funny Car Nationals yesterday, WHAT A TRIP!!!

If it wasn't for the support vehicles, you would think it was the 70's!! I felt out of place w/o my striped bell bottoms, shoulder length hair, and tie die shirt!! The F/C's, front engine T/F's were kool, very kool. What stole the show for me were the straight axle, wheel standing, smokey burn-out Gassers!!:woohoo:

Once you get past the air under the ffront wheels, look in the background and see the line up of F/C's.

They raced into the night, but my camera did not take very good pics then.

I don't have a picture of it, but a friend of mine had a stock 61 Buick. One day he decided he wanted to see how fast it would go on the 1/4. So we took it up to Milan Dragway one Sunday. He had the front bumper off to do some body work on it. Because of this, they classified it as a gasser!!!!:freak: I don't remember the times he turned, I was too busy laughing all day long.:roll: I think the gassers he "raced" against were at the end of the 1/4 before he got out of 1st gear.
