Default There is nothing funny about a Funny Car
This makes you think about the wiseness of getting into Funny Car racing.

Wow, that post really added value to this thread. :togo:

Well I haven't seen it before, what an awesome pic! Just like some old bloke once said about them, that they were basically a "contained explosion with wheels". :

Good point Kev

Also, Mike Gayner, since it has been posted "a jillion times" you'll have no trouble posting a link to just one of those "jillion"....
