A few of my favorites... It was old-guy weather, nice and cool. They're cropped strange ('cept the last one) so I can use them for my Facebook cover-shot.
I believe Cory Mac’s first race car was a badass Bug. I remember The Durachrome Bug FC from when I was a kid, it was pretty cool.Der Panzer Wagen V-Dub. Cool little car! I have a soft spot for Bugs. Yes, I go to the Bugorama at Wild Horse.
Didn't know about the AA/FA roots. I do know there were TWO Durachrome Bugs built, and I did see pics somewhere (FB maybe) of one of them that will be restored. And, I remember Kelso's FC, it was pretty cool.Here is a little story. The first Durachrome Bug was built as an AA/FA, had a shorter wheelbase. Crashed it, & then rebuilt as a funny car. That car was never real stable on the top end. It is my understanding that the car was found in the last few years & is being restored, rat motor and all. There was / is a photographer from Tucson named Jim Kelso, who ran a Bug funny car as a super comp, maybe 1990's. Car was really cool, a bit longer than the Durachrome car. Kelso was gonna put a blower on it and run CIFCA, but never heard anything about it. Wish someone would build another bug like that today.
