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 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?
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.

Tony,

I'd appreciate you not using the term "Left" when referring to me. In insults my conservative leanings... LOL

Sorry Greg, my post was meant to be Top Alcohol only. Not in the loop about sportsman cars.

Ya Tony will be at Edmonton for sure maybe a couple other events as well. Will see you at the Zizzo pit area.

Tony, I saw you last Saturday in Tulsa but you were working on the clutch so I didn't want to bother you. Look forward to seeing you guys back in June. I was really hoping you'd take the top spot back but still some nice consistant runs from you guys.
