I am one of the former owners of the "Chicago Fire" funny car. The first car ran on alky then we went to fuel. My partner was Mike Faser. My name is Ken Hocter. I now live in California and hang with David Baca's top fuel team, but I'll never forget the Chicago Fire.

| Romeo Palmamides built the chassis for the Monza. |
 |
| The car had a 426 cast iron block match race engine. |
