espo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The Peanuts Ford was the first so called funny car I remember seeing. I was at a rather sad track in SoCal called Fontana based on its being in Fontana Ca. As I recall the car was pretty much all steal. The car appeared to be a full bodied 4 door with the engine where the dash board would be and the driver was in the back seat. I don't remember any ET's or speed but it was fun to watch.

There may be a passenger seat, but I sure wouldn't ride in it; that thing is scary. That El-dog came to our local dragstrip, but they could not get it fired up or were having problems with the engine so it didn't run. Of course there were five others there that put on an excellent show. Edited April 20, 2019 by TarheelRick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Some really wild stuff. Some I've never seen before too. Real cool. Spy Machine/Sinister Purpose looks like it'd be a handful of terror to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrobarry Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Saw Dale Armstrong`s "Canuck" race a few times when it still had the roof on it at Shepard raceway here in Calgary. Geez! Am I that old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
