"The Quickest Cars on the Planet! Nitro Fuel Cars!!"

 Sammy Hale - "Champion Speed Shop" - AA/FD - March Meet, 1999
The mouse that roared.  Although this first run of the weekend wasn't noteworthy (other than Sammy brought it down safely), they came back in the final session to run the quickest pass in history by a front engine car. A stunning 5.87! Unreal! This is one stout 400" small block Chevy!

   A 7 sec. 187mph Street Legal Rod?              Fuelers=A great Show!

"Big" John Mazmanian	The Blue Max

Bob Vandergriff AA/FD	Dale Creasy AA/FC

John Force AA/FC	Jim Yates Pro-Stock

The Hemi Underglass - Wheelstander

Bob Bohannen in the Ford Hemi, that's right, I said Ford Hemi powered All American Bantam bodied AA/FA,
at the Fuel Altered Nationals at Tucson Raceway.

Bob's running a set of the "rarer than hen's teeth" Mickey Thompson hemi-heads which he developed back in the early sixties
to fit on the Ford 427 engine, before Ford came out with their SOHC set-up.
