We all love the Factory Experimental class here at DRO. As far as were concerned they we're the real forerunners of Funny Cars. Doug Nash's BFX Comet hauled. He later went on to a nitro injected small block Ford-powered Bronco.

Bruce Larson won a World Championship in a nitro flopper but before he went funny car racing he drove in the late lamented AA/SP class with the 427 powered AC Cobra.

Couldn't pass the opportunity to showcase a T-Bolt. This one belonged to Al Joniec and Bud Rubino. Check out those nine-inch slicks that are starting to smoke.

Nicholson's Comet. Nuff said. If you look closely you can see a '59 Ford squaring off against a 62 1/2 Galaxie. What you can't see is a guard rail anywhere!

Nicholson again, this time in one of his Pro Stock Mavericks doing a little testing.

And then we get to the late sixties with East Detroit's Dave Lyall and his Mustang.
