Flashback wtih Fred!

By Richard Ahrens

We take the way back machine to 1970 and visit U.S. 30 Dragway for rare shots of Fred Mandoline's UDRA A/FC in the pits. The Camaro was one of the best A/Funny Cars running at that time. These shots show Mandoline's matching El Camino also.

Check out that steering wheel! Wild Willy would have love that one! Mandoline won many races with this Camaro and renamed it the "Wheeler Dealer." Mandoline went on to win the 1983 NHRA TA/FC championship with his Bac-Man Rat headed Rodeck powered funny car. Mandoline can now be found tuning Tim Wilkerson's AA/FC.
