Hey Rat Pack
Those funny car drivers must of learned their personality from the Warren Johnson School of Personality. Talk about being rude, arrogant and inconsiderate to fans-Warren takes the cake.

Found a old drag mag from '70 with Professor Bill Blanding's '69 "Mimi"(named after the family cat) Camaro P/S. For you that do not know Bill always ran a giant stuffed tiger strapped in the passenger seat in all of his cars and on every run. Read in various printed sources over the years that he used to manipulate the paw so it would give the one finger salute facing out of the passenger window.
Things were a lot less serious back then and in my opinion alot more fun. What do you think the sponsers would think about something like this today?
