I didnt see the post.

What classes can the Funny Car body be run in ?

Still "pondering" it....otherwise maybe an altered....

I am toying with the idea of a 4cyl turbo FC and would like to move up to Comp Elim....Be cool, fun, fun to work on.....just something neat I think, Ive got my eye on a 78 Arrow body

House will be done by end of the Month and Dad has the DP under control now and with Keith driving for now....

So well I need a new toy And the DP has always been a bit slow for my tastes... So new car, new team of misguided mistreants and rejects, what could be more fun.....

Cheers

Chris

Sad to think this car will never be built.

A bit of trivia for you, but in the 1980s before the IHRA had a PAFC division, the alky flops ran as S/F [Super Funny] and had a 6.40 index. One of them actually made it to the quarters at one race I was at.

Not that this would fit into any NHRA class, but an interesting 4 cylinder funnycar none-the-less.

Dave Bonbright's dual blown, flat-4 VW funnycar! I watched Dave drive this thing at Fremont Raceway back in the day, at one of the VW events.
