Thanks Phil !! PS: In your second pic... I love the stabilizer fins !! We call them Sail Panels or Spill Plates in drag racing, I made mine extra large, as they act like feathers on a dart to help it go straight at speed !! :tu:

Re: '69 Corvair Rear Engine Funny Car

Why no chute? We get yelled at if we don't pull it in Landspeed. My home track (I'm the former manager) 1/8th mile with 1300 feet of shutdown, if I'm under 130 MPH or so, I can just coast, and lightly drag brakes to the make turn off !!

Re: '69 Corvair Rear Engine Funny Car

Action shot, from our only attempt at Puddle Prep racing !! TV's Trap Queen (Mike Foster) supplied the Skinny's Street Sauce, and the plan to pour it behind tires, and back into it, due to our header location, and the fact that our crewguy likes his hair unburnt !! LOL, hooked up good for first coup...

Re: '69 Corvair Rear Engine Funny Car

Finally got our name put on the car !! The jewelry store deal had expired, so I peeled it off, but then it looked nekkid back there, so I got my graphics guy to make this for us, it is the reflective DOT stuff, looks wild under the lights, or in camera flash !! :tu:
