In the early '70s this was the baddest funny car out there. The infamous Barry Setzer Vega with Pat Foster at the throttle ruled the funny car world at the time. Shown here at Englishtown, Foster was not only the driver but the crew chief and for a while this car was unbeatable. 

Foster was just inducted into Don Garlits' Hall of Fame last month.
