Glad to see Tommy Johnson back out there, and equally happy to see another A/Fuel Funny Car. Best of luck to everyone involved!

This is awesome its about time. It will bring in new competitors for the TAFC class and spread some more NITRO into the beloved sportsman class! Anybody remember the CIFCA "California Injected Funny Car Association"? Blast from the past

Cool to see Tommy in action!!!

I remember A/FC's from years ago, we even had one or two here in Europe. Pleased to see them able to come back into top line sportsman racing. Also pleased that T.J. got the nod for driving this new project.

Can't go wrong with Rich McPhillips looking over the situation. One of the best if not the best

@joeblough70 11 месяцев назад

Rich is definitely a guy you want looking things over and making suggestions!

Great to see you out in a ride again. Was kinda missing seeing you on the track. Was friends with your dad when he and your mom lived back here in Iowa. Best of luck on this new venture and as always stay safe as possible.

Nice option for the class. May take sometime to be competitive but when it does it will be fun! 👍

@scottclarke953 11 месяцев назад

It's always been there in the rule book. Back in the 70's veney's vega was injected on nitro. Ran good also.

@ST--- 8 месяцев назад

I have been wondering if this would happen! I hope this works out! Such an interesting combo!

@donsavignano4396 11 месяцев назад

I would like to see a/fuel funny cars & dragsters run at Sacramento raceway but i don't know if the old track can hold. it. I too am glad TJ is back. Just wish he could get a ride in. one of those 12,000 horsepower nitro breathing monsters. If not, then the a/ fuel car is just fine

@SpartansAndHeroes 11 месяцев назад

I personally witnessed some test passes of an A-fuel Funny car at Buds Creak Md. many years ago, maybe '99 or 2000? Always wondered why no one ran one, didn't know they weren't legal...sooo, why was this team testing one? (By my bad memory it was the cow Funny car but maybe wrong there).

@fueldragster 11 месяцев назад

That was Scott Weis who ran an A/Fuel Funny Car in IHRA. He was so much quicker than the blown alcohol cars that IHRA and NHRA banned the combo until this year

@MikeM275 11 месяцев назад

@@fueldragster Yes it was! I remember now! (In fact I talked with them while I was there testing). I was testing my brand new Danny Lattimore built Stocker and they were there testing their A/Fuel funny car! That was around the Mark Thomas years of what IHRA used as pro Funny Car. Thomas was nearly unbeatable thru those years. Would have loved to see Weis allowed to run though.
