"For those who are old enough to remember Funny Cars the
first time around, these fuel-burners brought back fond memories
of drag racing's glorious past. And for those who were seeing it
for the first time, well, let's just say it was an awesome display
of pure "old-school" drag racing at its finest. What more could
the nostalgia drag racing junkie ask for than to see a 1971 Dodge
Challenger Funny Car launch into a wheelstand from the 60ft mark
only to touch ground a few hundred feet later? Probably not much.
This was just the case when wheelman Mike Adams stomped on the loud
pedal of Jeff Gaynor's Funny Car, sending the front end skyward
during the first round of eliminations on Sunday. "
