Santos,,,, I think I was 13-14, was such a movie-like day all the way to the winner's circle for Santos at sears point! Big ass screw blower on a small block, ridiculous!

So who do you want to see win the T/AD championship in 2020? I can think of 3 strong blown alky cars & a bunch of A/FD. Should be interesting!

I'll always root for Cowie. Like I said earlier, the story is just too good.......

Charlie Bauer - Night Fever - always a gorgeous paintjob in the 80s
Bernie Schacker's streamliner
Ray Noonan - Noonan and Fuschloch - loved those small front wheels
Cliff Bozzelli - Bozz Baby Express, also a gorgeous red color

Bernie Shacker ran a back motor T/F in 1970. So did he run a blown alky car later? Kinda streamlined in the front? Was looking for a photo of that car, cuz I remember it, but all I found was above link. Interesting to me that Garlits saw this car & actually sat in it. Must have set the wheels in motion for his version of the back motor.

OK, last photo in this article is the streamlined T/AD Bernie ran & a little info on it. Was an interesting car.

Boy, I would hate to have to pick who is the best blown alky car of all time, dragster or F/C. Somebody named Manzo comes to mind......
