Just saw he's entered the Texas race driving a Tuttle Motorsports Funny Car.

That's great to hear, Jeff's a good guy and can shoe a FC with the best of them!

I think there is more news coming from that team. Blast from the past.

Nitro Bandit rides again!

I wish they would put the Nitro Bandit logo on the car. That was sooooooo cool to see!

think i can remember brad driving the bandit car, but only maybe saw it once or twice in late 80's, early 90's......it was a mustang or thunderbird i think; i think eric reed
drove a similar body back in that era? could have been same car? or ex-candies/hughes body? can remember frank kramberger campaigning a ford, philadelphia flyer FC
back then too, but i think he was more late 80's?

I think the Bandit was a Mustang, maybe black in color, with an outline of a cowboy wearing a bandana face mask & cowboy hat. This was before Prudhommes car that had kind of the same logo for Skoal. I tried to find a photo of the Nitro Bandit. You know how many F/C had the name "Bandit"? A ton of 'em. Anyhoo, it was a cool car. Saw it run a lot at then Firebird in Phoenix.

Saw and talked to Brad at Seattle a number of times in the 80's and early 90's. Nice guy
Remember he also ran a BFH ( Blown Fuel Hydro ) back in the day
Brad got runner up at the 1988 NHRA Seafair Northwest Nationals. Seattle

I think it was Brad driving his FC at Indy, I'm thinking in the '80s, and it grenaded the motor and the body became shrapnel. Pretty wild explosion.

I think that’s the plan. Brad has ordered a Nitro Bandit driving suit!

The good old days of BFH without capsules.

Harry remember when the BFH pilots would just have on a t-shirt, helmet, life jacket
and the parachute strapped to their back. It was and still is a E-Ticket ride.

Looks like the "Mr Ed" BFH is losing oil out of the breather tube. At least
on the water their is no clean up. Fire the next pair.
