To this and Dinsdales similar posts, we can only dream??? However hopeless as it may seem though, other things that were unthinkable have happened in our sport, so who knows???

Do any of you remember the Alky Funny car that ran in Div 4 with no decals. It was a very pretty car and a nice operation. It was back in the 90's I think, poor memory....No telling how much money the owner gave up when winning. I think the guy was able to race out of his own pocket for his kids. I think they were multi div champs & finished high in the National points. Sure wish my memory worked better.

Adger, are you talking about Joe Penland from Texas? He won the TA/FC world championship in '95 or so with Steve Boggs tuning. Very few, if any, decals were on the car. A year or so later, he quit, because the Divisional tracks in Div 4 weren't nice enough to race on, in his words.

Mike,
Thanks for the refresher.... :~) Yes. he might have said that about quiting, but I think the race car was for his boy and then his girl went into horses. Top notch all the way! Running with only the requied decals was his deal. Someone must have told him about all the contingency hassels & headaches that he could avoid. Beautiful car and great opreation. Winning the championship says something about someone knowing how to get the car down any track!

Mike mentioned Joe Penland, but I was thinking of Don Gay Jr.? He's the one I remember watching race an Alky Funny Car like that, and he did very well with that car too!!!
