Mustang Dark House Funny Car 2024?

That's a real nice looking paint scheme/wrap on the Bob Tasca AA/FC. I'm glad to see Ford is very enthusiastic about staying involved in NHRA drag racing in 2024 and is also continuing to produce some high performance street cars. Especially with GM discontinuing their Camaro.
So I gather Ford is the major sponsor & PPG is an associate? Stone-Woods & Cook F/C was called the Dark Horse 2. See below.

The venerable and now legendary trio of Fred Stone, Tim Woods, and Doug Cook will forever be remembered for their exploits in the early Gasser wars oBut in 1967, the team shocked the drag racing world by swapping out their familiar Willys for a Mustang Funny Car.

good catch mike. i like the new look ....... they will also probably fill in the notch in body where the headers go due to their new, trick, under body header system
in all seriousness, when's the last time you saw a BT3 mustang w/o the blue ford oval? i like this new, bold FORD PERORMANCE on front and spill plates.

Cliff, I immediately thought of that '66 SWC Mustang when I saw the name "Dark Horse!"So I gather Ford is the major sponsor & PPG is an associate? Stone-Woods & Cook F/C was called the Dark Horse 2. See below.

Despite its outdated steel/glass configuration Cookie won the '67 March Meet w/ it. Back then the race offered 3 FC weight breaks: 2000, 2400 and 2600.
Dyno's Eliminator I Comet took the 2000 class, Cookie the 2400 and Bruce Larson's '67 USA-1 Chevelle was the 2600 winner (info from 5-67 SS&DI).

TASCA UNDERSTANDS HIS NEW FUNNY CAR IS A DARK HORSE IN NAME ONLY | Competition Plus
Bob Tasca III will drive a Ford Motorsports-themed Dark Horse Funny Car in 2024, but the reality is that the NHRA frontrunner will be anything but a dark horse. When a driver wins three races in four final rounds and qualifies No. 1 seven times in a season, their ability to sneak up on anyone...

I like the funny car, but can't get past the disproportionately over sized front end of the door car. One of the main reasons I'm turned off by Pro Stock and Pro Mod.
