Default Re: The Factory Experimental Cars

There is a post over on the Jalopy Journal and I must admit I forget the title of it but it was something that the guy kept writing every once and a while.

This guy really seemed to know just what he was talking about and he raced from Maine to Calif. in a funny car.

I believe at the time he lived in Texas and now lives in Florida and is retired.

He raced all of the top guys in funny car and A/FX at one time or another and his account of the way things were done in those days makes for some very interesting reading.

This guy posted for months telling story after story of how the promoters ran the shows and if you wanted to race in their shows you played by the rules or else you did not go on tour.

I loved this era of racing and I could not thing of a better time to be growing up.

I will try and find the tread and post it for to read.
