Well it’s red alright and it’s
bitchin’. The body is a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria.
What is interesting is that it already states on the rear
window that it’s the world’s quickest and fastest
(actually it says fastest and quickest but I’m dyslexic)
nostalgia Funny Car. 5.70 @ 270. Really? Anyway, it looks
like a great piece and Jack will have a ball with it…
but, it screams “match race Funny Car” not “nostalgia
Funny Car.” At least not a VRA legal nostalgia Funny.
Hey, there’s more to life than the VRA, I guess.

Got
a nice letter to the editor from John Dearmore saying that
he’s had it with me writing about me and all that
is me. Actually, I agree with John. With all that has been
on my plate I have let my nostalgia editor duties go to
hell. I don’t know, maybe racers shouldn’t attempt
to be journalists or vice versa. I’ll try to do a
better job in the future but something will screw it up,
I just know it.
As far as me doing more research for my column, it’s
hard to do research from inside a welding hood, or a Funny
Car, which is where I spend most of my time. I’m lazy,
if you want to read about what interests you, then you need
to let me know via email or carrier pigeon or mental telepathy.
In fact, I don’t believe I have seen a press release
from John’s organization in about a year. John is
the president of the Outlaw Nitro Alliance. They put on
some great races east of the Rockies and they allow the
devil’s own 426 in front motor Top Fuel. These guys
rock. They need to let the world know that they rock.
So in closing, I know I’m lame. Help me be not so
lame. Send me your team or organization’s info and
I’ll write about it. I’m a lousy researcher
and I know it. utterback@dragracingonline.com
or even this; jeff.utterback@verizon.net.
Come on, what are you afraid of, a little press?
