Fire and despair in the desert

It's one thing to lose a race car to fire on the dragstrip and another to lose it in a trailer fire on the way to the track. John Lombardo Jr. recounts the "surreal and unpleasant night" in 1984 when legendary Funny Car owner Joe Pisano's rig burned to the ground in the California desert.

Cliff you are still the undisputed heavyweight "champeen" (as Freddie Blassie said) of the frequent reposts. Uncle Joe was some owner, still my fav ride from the Pisano Bros. was the long nosed Camaro with Frankie doin' the wheel work in 67.
