Sammy Slams It

Photos by Thomas Nagy

Here is a rare photo of Sammy Miller's last nitro funny car before he built the Spirit of 76 Rocket funny car. The new Mustang II featured late model Hemi power that enabled Sammy to run a respectable 6.44 (although Sammy was destined for much quicker times in the rocket). The Mustang II was not run for long before it was destroyed in a fire.
