The evolution of starting a drag race
Excerpts from the Diamond P video “Fabulous Floppers”. Narrated by the late Steve Evans with NHRA Funny Car Champions Kenny Bernstein and Don “The Snake Prudhome”.
Before asking why is it funny please read this.The car is a Funny-Car. In drag racing there are different classes of cars one of which is Funny-Car so named because in the early days the cars were made from stock looking cars but the rear wheels were moved forward which made them look “funny”. The term “funny car” was just away of describing the class these cars compeated in, it has since become the official name for the class.
Years before John Force arrived on the scene, drag racing’s original flamboyant showman was “Jungle Jim” Liberman; a larger-than-life individual whose flaming burnouts, glib personality, and boundless energy helped endear him to fans in a manner that eluded other drivers with better winning records.
