The funnies made quite
an impression and one current Top Fuel pilot
is planning on making the switch to fiberglass
next season, as is at least one other fuel
altered driver. In addition to the static
car show of Goodguys events, there's an exceptional
collection of vintage racecars in the Hot
Rod division.
This cool rat rod
was running in the low 10's.
I also had the opportunity
to compete in this cool '66 Chevy II big block,
straight axle car and made it to the second
round, running in the low 12's.
Although this stealth
Thunderbird called "Blackbird" didn't make
a pass, it looks like it would jet down the
Pomona quarter mile with the Brad Anderson
blown alcohol hemi under the hood for power.
