The Smoke Shall Rise Again

AA/FC This plastic fantastic needs know introduction. If you don't no this car, what are you doing here? I believe the driver
of this flopper, his son and grandson visit this thread

I wish very much the driver of this flopper was able to visit this thread, but we are down to just his son and grandson. Thanks Jim.

You're welcome Mike. The driver of that flopper was part of my childhood (been going to the drags since 1968, 8 years old)
It makes me sad that 98% of my favorite drivers are either retired or passed on. But, momories last forever!

When will I see you again

AA/FC Once again a favorite of mine when I was a kid. "Big John" Mazmanian Cuda funny car just coming out of the
bleach box. Pretty sure it's John's nephew Rich Siroonian in the seat or it could be Danny Ongais or Mike Snively.
Anyway, all three great drivers. First time I saw the flopper, June of 1971 at Seattle
