Notes: Fiberglass shell, Zeuschel-built early hemi, Enderle injection, TorqueFlite (after starting with direct drive), 112" chassis, 2025 lbs. There has been some question as to who became the first female funny driver, but we consider Paula Murphy the first. Paula had previous racing experience with sports cars, Indy Cars, NASCAR stock cars, and other forms of racing. In 1966, "Fat Jack" Bynum and Murphy teamed up to build a '66 Mustang funny car called "Miss STP." The home-built chassis was crude at best, but it had a Dave Zeuschel-built 392 Chrysler tuned by Bynum. The uniqueness of a female funny car driver worked for Murphy. Paula was able to get enough bookings to support her as a full-time professional drag racer. The car ran into the eights in the 1967 season. (Photo provided by Mike Ditty.

Notes: Delaware's "Joltin' Joe" Jacono, circa 1973, ran an East Coast schedule with his popular funny cars. Following Top Fuel efforts in the 60s, Jacono's first flopper was an SOHC powered former Tasca "Brief Encounter" Mustang in 1970 which burned before it had a chance to be sorted out. He followed up with a former Big John Mazmanian "Brief Encounter" Cuda in 71/72 and ultimately, this Woody Gilmore chassied "Rollin Stoned" entry. Cartoon character on car was a parody of Jacono's Caveman nickname. Despite his limited schedule, Jacono was competitive as evidenced by his second place finish in 73 NED WCS flopper points race. Car was campaigned mostly on a "match race" basis through 1976. Arguably his biggest win came at the 75 NHRA National Open at Cecil County over Bill Leavitt.

Notes: Another "character" from the 70s, Dave "Nasty" Benjamin ran altereds and his early Funny Car efforts from his chassis shop in Albuquerque, NM. Benjamin alternated between racing Funny Cars and AA/FAs during the 70s. first funny car effort was Corvette in 72. This car, photographed at the 78 AHRA Winternationals, was destroyed on its maiden outing. Benjamin later took over the cockpit of Nelson Lengle's "Sno-Town Shaker" entry to finish out the 78 season then fielded his own floppers through the 80s and 90s. Benjamin was one of the sport's unheralded innovators introducing 3 valve heads, one of the first dual fuel pump system (80), etc. "Nasty" took his last funny car ride as an owner at the 1999 AHRA World Finals at Spokane. is currently doing occasional driving chores in the "Impulse" Funny Car.

Notes: Here is Ronald Swann's match bash Ford Falcon. Swann lived and raced out of the Houston area in the mid-sixties. Charlie Willis and Leonard Abramcik drove the Falcon for Ronald. Carl Parrish, Sr., tuned the car and reports that the team mixed the nitro with some hydrazine, an extremely volatile and unstable rocket fuel. The Falcon featured a 427 Ford Wedge punched out to 488 cubic inches and transferred power through a 4 speed Ford Top Loader with 5.10 rear gears. The setup led to wild wheelstands and woolly runs. Carl Parrish Jr. said the team raced Gene Snow all the time in match racing in Texas. (Photo and info courtesy Carl Parrish Jr.)

Notes: The well-named "Funny Car" was one of the first funny cars to race in Texas. Tom McCroan owned and raced the car out of his car lot in Garland, Texas. The match bash Mopar featured an injected 426 Hemi on nitro. The "Funny Car" was a regular at Green Valley and in match races across Texas. The strange thing about the "Funny Car" was number of drivers who drove it. Tom McCroan drove the car, as did his wife Gladys McCroan. Raefel Shields and Brent Musgrave also drove "The Funny Car." The Mopar ran high nines at best on the cow pasture tracks of Texas. (Photo courtesy Flyin' Phil Elliott).

Notes: The "Super Cuda" was one of several funny cars from the Memphis area in the sixties. Pat Collins built the car in 1968 and teamed up with Bill Taylor to race the beautiful candy apple red Plymouth. The Coleman and Taylor team had raced the "Kingfish" funny car. Coleman sold the car and name to T.B. Smallwood after the 1968 season. The "Super Cuda" proved to be just as good as the old car. Logghe Stamping Company built the chassis and the car was powered by a 426 Chrysler Hemi on 55% Nitro backed by a Coleman and Taylor built transmission, of course. Larry Reyes, Larry Arnold, and Sidney Foster all drove the "Super Cuda" to countless wins. Reyes had the best times in the car with a 7.53 at 198, while Arnold ran 7.76 at 193, and Foster ran 7.76 at 196. In 1968, Reyes won the King of Kings Race at Capitol Raceway, the AHRA Drag World Finals in Wichita, and the Super Stock Invitational in Detroit. - BS (Photo courtesy Mike Ditty. stats courtesy Dennis Doubleday.
