I like the Funny Cars and Fuelers. My favorites include Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, Don “The Snake” Prudhome, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Tommy Ivo and Bruce Larson.
I remember watching Ivo driving his 4-engine Buick Sportswagon and Larson’s 4000 hp funny car. He designed and built this engine. Aluminum block and burns alcohol and nitro. Bruce lives nearby and I have stopped by his garage several times, but not much since COVID. He has a habit of closing his garage two days before he races. Grumpy died about 10 years ago. The last I knew, Ivo was still in California and I lost track of “Snake.” Jenkins lived in Easton, PA prior to his death. In case anyone’s interested, I thought I would throw this information in.
