Notes: Bob's little known funny car. | The story, per Steve Reyes, is that this was formerly Don and Roy Gay’s car. Steve’s words: “After the death of his brother Roy, Don Gay lost interest in funny car racing. He held one heck of a fire sale which saw their Firebird funny car end up with wheel-stand king Bob Riggle. So how did the car return to racing? Dale Emery, Dee Gant and Waterbed Fred Miller were hanging out at Riggle’s place in Ohio when they spotted the Ex-Gay funny car in the corner of the shop. They asked about the car and whether or not, if they put the car together, they could make a few laps with it. "Sure, why not?" said Riggle. Then the Hemi Under Glass AA/FC hit the drag strip with Dale Emery at the controls. The car only ran a few match races and one NHRA National event in Ohio before it disappeared into the funny car abyss.” (From Drag Race Central.com, Recycled Funny Cars II - https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=335010).
