Here's part of the story.

Norwegian funny car racer Tom Andersen has a name that sounds the same as American funny car racer Tom Anderson. But note the difference in the spelling of the last name. Before switching to funny cars Tom Andersen had driven the “Van Iderstine” AA/FD that was exported to Norway around 1975 and renamed “Black Magic” when it was raced in European Pro Comp. In 1979 Andersen then purchased this Mustang II funny car from fellow Norseman Steinar Stolen. The car was another US import originating from Carmel, NY, where it was built and driven by Drake Viscome under the name “Vindicator.” Steinar Stolen campaigned the Mustang II in Pro Comp – although he also ran it in Funny Car at Santa Pod’s 1977 World Finals – before selling it, to make way for his next acquisition - the “California Charger” of Keeling and Clayton (which Steinar Stolen also ran as a BB/FC).
