Has it really been forty years since dear Allan went to the great bleachbox in the sky? Thanks for all the memories of you wrestling Gladiator and Alleygator down the hallowed tarmac of Santa Pod.

That's not a burnout ! There's more raw fuel coming out of the headers than there is smoke coming off the rear tires. Modern funny cars just don't cut it even compared to funny cars from just 10 years ago. Funny cars are suppose to FOG the track in on the burnout ! Not a bunch of sloppy raw fuel spilling out of the headers !! Modern funny cars suck.

Great to see a clip of the 'Stampeder' white HB Viva with a big V8 at 03.54. Featured in the very first Custom Car Magazine. Tried to track the car down many years ago to no avail. Ah well. ☹️
