I'm pretty sure it was the car he drove to a national win and probably fired him up for Top Fuel.
The BEE-ON Video series is a wealth of knowledge and memories of the old strips and cars. Jim Amos, the owner, is someone who does it for the love of it. Lord knows he doesn't make a lot of money at it.
