Toyota Funny Cars

[WildcatOne]

They're still around...Gary Densham's got one. He's on the entry list at Joliet as "Racebricks" but it doesn't say what "car" he's driving. Maybe he's using something else this weekend. Those bodies have made the rounds since Scelzi was with Allen Johnson driving the White Cap-sponsored one. I was present at HRP when he blew up qualifying it in the night session. Bruce Sarver inherited the car when Scelzi sat out the rest of that season, then after they dumped it and moved on the next year, it sat out a season and then it turned up again with Jerry Toliver (Schick) and Jim Head's (Menard's) team. Toliver and Sarver won events with it. Apparently there is a deal available if you agree to run that body. I can understand the guys that aren't funded out of a treasure chest would consider picking up the deal, but if I was involved in a team's aero, I'd recommend against it. Apparently you can make the car win with enough power, but that body isn't what I'd call extremely aerodynamically efficient (I heard it's heavy, too), therefore to me it ain't all that useful. Besides that, heck, it's a Toyota. My 2 cents. Cheers, WC1
