Surfers Funny Car

[Marc Weller]

The Surfers AA/FD team of Skinner Jobe and Sorokin had a brief but very successful career in the mid sixties culminating in their victory at the Fuel and Gas Championships in Bakersfield in 1966, arguably the most remarkable achievement in the history of the sport. The bright yellow intake scoop on their dragster and their yellow and white '55 Chevy push car were trademarks of the team. The team disbanded in late '66 and, tragically, Mike Sorokin was killed driving another car at Orange County International Raceway. This model represents an alternate history of the Surfers where the boys recognize that match racing a funny car had far more financial potential than continuing to run the dragster and took the neccessary steps to pursue that goal.

I really dig " what if ? " builds. This is terrific! Radical but still kind of mild.

Great build of a Historic NHRA Legend. The team was nicked named The Surfers because they were laid back and KOOL. Not one of them was a surfer   *Drag Racing in the 60's
