Notes: From New England in the early 70s came Bob Tardugno and the "Roman Rat" Nova. Bob came up through the sportsman ranks, then had Logghe Stamping build this car new for him in the 1970 time frame (no, it's not a former JJ car.). By the time he took delivery and finished construction of the Candy Apple Red Nova, he reports that advancing chassis technology had rendered the car "almost obsolete. " Powered by a blown Chevy marine engine, the car was a northeast division booked in and match race regular, although Bob did make annual treks to Florida in the Winter to participate in the open 16-car, 2-day funny car shows at Miami-Hollywood Dragway. The car was sold as 73 came to a close, and the new owner continued to campaign it as a BB/FC. Tardugno purchased a Buttera chassis, dropped a Vega body on the car, and planned to debut a new "Roman Rat" in the 74ish time frame, but sold the car before the project was completed due to the rapidly escalating cost of racing. Today, Bob is into a different kind of horsepower, raising horses in New England. (Info courtesy Bob Tardugno). |
