I only have the same info that you do...
Shawn Cowie- Richmond, BC.
Santos chassis, which I thought that Rick only built two, or maybe three cars...
Other than that... No Clue...
Way to make an appearance at your first race??
I'm sure I will stand corrected...
Thanks Paul...

Well, that certainly explains a lot.

I know he sold his TAFC to an Aussie racer at the end of last season.
I also remember reading on here, he was taking a break and was going to be working on his nostalgia FC... I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I remember someone on here saying that.

Michael, I think you are right. He was going to focus on the nostaglia FC. But, the article I remember (probably linked from here back when) implied that he would be back to TAFC.

He's running the nostalgia nitro car with Plueger this year. They took it out for the first time a few weeks ago and ran 6.13 and didn't run it all the way through the lights. Next closest to them was in the 6.30's. Plueges can still build a hell of a car. Steve is also working on remake of his Plueger & Gyger Mustang bodied car. It was bare chassis and body in February. They were working hard to get Bucky's car done so I don't know if he's done anything more with it yet. It will be sweet when it's done though.
Former Rick Santos car!!!
After Rick "retired" the car was sold to the Edgecombe's who raced the car for a couple years. It had a new front half installed on it before Hillary bought the car.

In National Dragster back in February I think, it said that he was going to be running a nostalgia f/c this year and that he was having a new alcohol car being built by Brad Hadman with a possible return date in August.

Are you sure that's right?
I thought Rick Santos built a car for the Edgecombe people and Darren Nicholson was the first driver of that car...followed possibly by Paul Jones?
Rick Santo's built that car for the Edgecomb's. It was not his car, nor did he drive it. Other than the one he drove for O'Bannon, it is the only other car they have built. The edgecomb group are good friend of the Santos clan.
As far as Bucky goes, he is building a new TAFC, which will be ready soon. He has not decided though whether to run it as a TAFC or turn it into a nostalgia flopper. He did really like the nostalgia race at Seattle. That run would have been a 5.70-or low '80. It was 3.77@198 to half track with a .97 sixty foot.
Easily the quickest nostalgia flopper pass if it had of been run to 1320.

I did mis-type on that. I meant to confirm that it was a car Rick built. I got to help him some when the new front half was installed and was on hand to help load the car into the Will's trailer.
That's not entirely accurate. Those were the only alcohol dragsters that Rick built but he did built a couple other cars. One was a 215" car for Frank Cervelli... there is even a Top Dragster type chassis sitting partially complete on the jig at George's right now.
