Who's Mustang funny car is on the cover of Wild Rides II?

[Steveo]

I saw that NHRA is advertising Wild Rides II on their site. Who's Mustang is pictured blowing up on the cover?

I want to say it's Ron Dudley in the St. Moritz, or a guy named Jim Hotlz, can't remember the name of the car though.

Yeah that would be Jim Holtz. Can't remember the car's name or who owned it. I do remember that Holtz and the team got booted out (I think for good) by NHRA for making some modifications to some of their safety equipment - like blower bag and restraint straps. Apparently, it was determined that that was why the explosion resulted in so much damage.

I found that it was Jim Holtz and the car was called, "Out A Site".

I was hoping to find a picture of it intact, but I've had no luck... Can anyone help with that?

Steve, it was Jim Holtz driving, the car was owned by Jeff and Robert Phillips Jeff passed away a few years ago. Robert has a video of the run (got to see it) and I sure Robert might also have some pictures His last E-mail was fullscopemotorsports.com hope this helps. I'll ask around and see if some of his friends might have a picture.

Thanks for the additional info! If you can come up with a pic or two that would be great!

Thanks John, I guess I should clarify; I'm looking for pix of the car before the big kaboom, i.e., intact... Not for any particular reason mind you, just that it's cool because it's a Fox body Mustang Funny Car!!!

That is an Auto Imagery shot. I have a large one in one of the offices.
