Hotrod Hotline ~ Memories


	Fuzzy Fuerholzer

Back in the 60s a few enterprising hot rodders decided to take drag racing to the next level. One obscure visionary was Ron Pelligrini of Berwyn, Illinois. At the time Ron claimed his Super Mustang was the worlds first tube chassis, fiberglass body Funny Car. Ron bought an out-of-service Denson, Arlasky & Knox AA Fuel Altered and slapped on a narrowed & shortened Mustang body and, WALLA, an era was born!
The name Funny Car comes to us from the appearance of the early versions of this racing phenom Racers moved the wheels, both front & rear, forward to increase traction thereby creating a funny looking car!!! Yadda, yadda, yadda and, as they say, The rest is history! Dig it. Here are a few blasts from the past depicting the 1st evolution of the Funny Car!

Bye, Bye,! *** Bear***

Just For Grins And Giggles Do You remember this one? If so you are so old you fart dust!!!

Remember when fire burnouts were the "Hot Item"? Here's a blast from the past taken 31 years ago at OCIR?

I still love drag racing but here are a few photos from the days when drag racing required a set of pure brass balls!!	*Bear*
