Master tin man Al Bergler shows the fans at Dallas International Raceway how to pull a wheelie in a fuel funny car. Bergler rode this one out it against Texas racer Cogo Eads. Al did the aluminum interiors of many, many funny cars. The Bergler & Prock team only lasted for a year in 1972 and only for a few races with addtional partner Pete Seaton. Tom Prock left to drive for the Custom Body Enterprises team in New York. Bergler continued to race on his own under the "Motown Shaker" moniker.
