    I love the Funny Cars of today, but they don't even compare to the late 70's-early 80's cars. The "Batmobile" and the "Blue Max" are the best ever for the coolness factor...

    Gary is a really nice guy, as are all of the drag racers that we have met along the way.
    You're a "door slammer" fan...I'm a funny car and top fuel fan through and through. However, any drag racing is fun to watch. I had a Trans Am in high school with a 400 engine and would race the boys with their little trucks (remember Sunsets truck club?!) and BEAT each and ever one of them! It was REALLY fun.
    We went to a car show today, as a matter of fact, and happen to get their late, which was perfect..we got to listen to the cars fire up and leave...that was the best part...the cudas, the 57's and the camero's--oh my!
    We hung out at the Carpool lot off Las Posas in Oxnard. Lots of 11 and 12 second rigs there and once Alan Root showed up with a Ford Courier pickup that had one of Bob Glidden's R&D motors in it. Raced my friend's 68 Camaro with an Aluminum headed 427 roller motor on the spray and street slicks. The race was over within 200 feet when the pickup's front wheels came back down and he was ahead 10 car lengths!!!
    But when we were feeling like seeing "The show" we went to Tommy's in Van Nuys or Chatsworth or Bob's Big Boy. A '64 tubbed Nova versus a small block '68 Camaro on street slicks...and a nasty, nasty small block...and three stages of juice...We all knew the Nova was gonna eat it up...til the Camaro did a dry hop with the front wheels up around our eyeballs!!! He waxed the Nova and didn't even use the third stage!!
    Now you get to see a line of 15 and 16 second Fart muffler Hondas line up on the rev limiter and lay 10 feet of rubber after dumping the clutch and bogging.
