Here's a couple of Norman Blake shots
of 70s Funny Car action at its best.
Larry Fullerton's Trojan Horse was one of the best looking and running cars of its day.

This is Larry Fullerton's "Trojan Horse" Mustang II
from Englishtown at one of the track's popular Wednesday night Funny
Car shows. This was the purple and silver "glitter" car
that really looked good under the lights and was the last car Larry
campaigned before he was killed as a passenger in a traffic accident in
1981.

Tom Anderson's "Speed Racer" was one of the baddest
cars out there for a while in the late 70s. Mike Kase built this
swoopy Vega and Anderson, who later went on to wrench Al Hoffman's
car during his killer years, vacated the seat and a variety of
drivers drove it including AA/Dale Armstrong.
