Notes: This car also had a long history. After Schroeder ran it in 68, it went to Art Whipple in 69, McCulloch's first FC. Then in 1970, Jerry Ruth bought it, and Frank Hall drove it. Then in 71, Harlan Thompson bought it and crashed it. | “This is my first Funny Car; it was a [Dick] Fletcher car that I bought from Whipple & McCulloch. It had a Chevy in it but I put a Chrysler in it, one of the engines out of my dragster. It’s also the first car that Frank Hall drove for me. It had a [Torqueflite] 727 transmission in it, but they burned up three transmissions the first week. I walked in the shop and it smelled like someone had burned bacon. I told them to throw the things away and make it high-gear-only. They changed it over, drove 550 miles to Boise, Idaho, and won the race.rnrn“I was a dragster guy, but Funny Cars were in big demand. I made my living at this, and it could be a good living, I made $255,000 one year in the ‘70s. That was a lot of money back then.”. (Info from Phil Burgess, NHRA.com interview with Jerry Ruth). JM |
