This vintage funny car was one of the coolest cars at SEMA. When I saw the Vega bodied funny car, I suddenly felt as if I was back at Lion's Drag Strip, sitting in the stands next to my dad, drinking a Coke with crushed ice from wax paper cup. Night races were the best, I can still see fire dancing out of the pipes and feel the ground shake as the cars blasted through the dark, light, dark, light sections that lined the track.
I gotta start taking my kid to drag races - Brian Moody, Road Test Editor
