Relentless Fuel Altered History

In the late 1980's the chance to buy a Steve Plueger built NHRA alcohol funny car from east coast racer Ed Parker was too much of an offer to resist. The car before that was the famous Boston Strangler owner by Arnie Karp.

Originally known on the NHRA tafc circut as 'Cape Codder', the 1986 Oldsmobile Firenza body was sold in favour of the 1932 Fiat Topolino replica body that we still use to this day.

This is an early photo, from the 1992 Main event when we left the car white just to get some track time.

This photo was taken at Santa Pod in around 1994 before we fitted the rear wing. As in the early days we only ran 175mph or thereabouts. When we started to get faster the rear wing was essential and transformed the car.

This was when we ran in Top Alcohol.

This is a photo from Avon Park (now Shakespeare County Raceway) from about 1996. This was when we ran in the Supercharged Outlaws where we were very successful.

Best E.T to date was a 7.031
