[Randy]

#738?
Ray Zeller's Midnight Skulker?
Orange and White 'Cuda?
Goldleaf Elephant?

Never heard of him

Lidtke and Zeller top fuel dragster with the baddest Chevy on the planet. Still holds the Irwindale track record.

Stan had his tea leaves firmly planted in the cockpit. Made one heck of an oil pan. Now comfortably retired in Seal Beach.

My favorite is Larry Dixon.

Since some folks are now listing their favorite floppers, I guess I'll add my two cents.

When it comes to funny cars I usually pull for Del Worsham. But I also enjoy all the cars in the Force camp. And how could one not like Gary Scelzi and Ron Capps? Next year, though, I know I'll be rooting for Melanie Troxel.

Since I'm out of the running the only part of the deal I'm qualified to answer is my favorites. Married and not really interested in Fuller so John Mulligan and Dixon Senior will have to suffice. Oh, and Jeb Allen, since I went to high school with him.

[TAFC 5 81]

My favorite is Darrell Gwynn!!

I have to through out a third vote for Darrell Gwynn. He introduced me to my nitro addiction. I saw him run a 5.09 at Moroso Motorsports Park back when that was fast.
