Default Re: 1970 funny car " circus cuda " ...being restored

Old Funny cars are the CLEST!!!.

If you haven't seen it yet there's this blurb also a pic of it in Chuck Finders livery at the bottom of the below linked Draglist page...

"...Chuck Finders was a well known chassis builder and gasser racer who had moved to Ohio in the late sixties. By the mid-seventies, Chuck had switched over to racing fuel funny cars. Finders is best known for the High Speed Vega and High Speed Monza machines that he campaigned with Ken Thornburg. Finders partnered with Jr Rollins in 1976 to race this Cuda, which they had purchased from Bob Larimore (who had raced it as the Circus Cuda). Finders and Rollins raced the car for one year, and then Finders and Ken Thornburg built a new car for 1977..."
