Early Fiat Topolino Years​

​

Imported from the USA in 1987 as a legal NHRA methanol funny car, we spent a few years building the car up as we didn't buy the motor and since we used Small Block Chevy power in the Phantasm Pop the obvious choice was to go Big Block Chevy in what was to become a Fuel Altered.

 

We then competed in Top Alcohol Championship, we did this for a good few years but due to our extremely limited budget we were never going to be a force in the class. We ran a standard iron 427 block, standard GM forged crank, iron heads and a supercharger which probably made about five pounds boost on a good day.

 

In the mid 1990’s - we started to race in a new class, the Supercharged Outlaws, in which we had great success and really enjoyed every single event.

​

Then in 2001 our crank of twelve years had enough and broke in the best possible way, everything out the bottom but thank god it didn't touch our new ally block.

 

On that run we still managed a 7.400 at 99 mph so it was on a flyer.
