Doing my part to help the AHRA !! I helped create a new class that brings funny cars, and dragsters back to the AHRA, they even used my car as the poster child for the new class called Econo-Comp !!

Made an exhibition run on 15% Nitromethane as part of the 50th Anniversary of the track in Sikeston, Missouri !!

We are honored to appear on the Econo-Comp poster for a second year !! We'll be there in just a couple weeks !!

Great advance in the Funny Car business! I like that you maintained the rear engine nature of the Corvair, and also moved the Funny Car engine location behind the driver, as Don Garlits did with the rear engine "Swamp Rat" series of Top Fuel dragsters. Is the rear engine funny car more safe for the driver? Will there be a trend in the development of the rear engine funny car?

We did get to run our car one last time this season !! This was at the AHRA Econo Comp event, great burnout, launched with full power, car blazed the tires and turned sideways, scaring the centerline cones and photographers !! LOL

Got the body off for some Winter maintenance !! Replaced every fuel line and fitting, now I am rewiring the car, and painting the chassis !!

[BackMotor]

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 !!
