I think this guy missed the memo about keeping the funny car bodies on the chassis. Funny car body

Reid, was that the "Dunn & Gone" car that lost the body? We were there Friday and saw it run. Also, Paul Romine scraped the wall on the last run of the day. Minimal/insignificant body damage but he screwed up the left side headers.

(I have a ton of pix to throw out here shortly)

Yes..Dunn&Gone funny car. Blower explosion early in the run which caused the body to fly off. Chassis/driver OK, and hard to believe that the body showed minimal damage.

New body for them too. Used to be a Nova if I recall correctly.

Diana and I had a great weekend. Always fun to hang with other club members. Icing on the cake to race.

I ran with the NPCA again, made it to the second round where I "gave" a race away. Still trying to get the hang of this bracket/index thing.

Racing Red Alert just keeps getting more exciting the more I get used to her. Thanks to Rob tracking down the guy who setup the rearend, we have her hooking hard now, pulling the frontend as she leaves. As she did in her former life, still twisting, but going straight down the track.

Her are a couple of pics at Gateway. The first on was my fisrt pass Friday, the second picture from Saturday. On the second pass on Sunday word was from the stands she really stood up, which is possible, as that was my best 60' of the weekend.

Tom,

Agreed 100%. Always good to spend time with you, Diana, Helen & Nancy, Rick & Annie and we were EXTREMELY happy to see Bob & Nancy Lionberger back in good health and Great spirits. The Musclecar Reunion is a fun event, especially for all us old folks who were there to see these cars in their 'first lives'.

Here's a few of my shots from Friday.

Cool old Stovebolt!
