    Great car.

    I have too many favorites, but Sheldon Konblatt’s Snoopy Jaguar E-Type Funny Car was one I always loved. He may have died driving this car, I can’t remember:

    I got to see Jim Liberman win his first (and ONLY) NHRA national event - the 1975 Summernationals. I remember it, not vividly as I was young, but I was a huge fan as he was a major character in the sport. Died too young...

    I liked Bob Riggles, but we always geeked over the Little Red Wagon wheelstander back in the day!

    And although it was a show car and not a competitive racer, I always liked Tommy Ivo's "Showboat", ever since I saw its model kit advertised.

    When I saw it in the Pomona museum, it had sort of station-wagon bodywork on the back end that looked rather cheesy. I'm glad they've put it back in its original form.

    Doug "Cookie" Cook was my friend Sean's uncle. Sean was a big time kart racer not too long ago and is currently one of the best engine builders and driver coaches in karting.

    From the time I became aware of drag racing, it was the Swamp Rat series of cars that were my favorites. Only Big Daddy is Big Daddy. Swamp Rat 27 was a very clean design.
