American Dragster: Part 2
Photos and words by Janet Greco

But the absolute HIGHLIGHT of this day was finding out what this car was all about. This, dear readers, is a FUNNY CAR.

And Frank Manzo is the 12 time world champion funny car driver. They were testing the car at this track on this day.
I was told this car would go down the track in about 4 seconds.

Think rocket ship. And loud enough to burst your brain.

I ought to know, I was standing at the start line shooting video, which is hilarious mainly for the sound track at the end,
when I thought the camera was off, repeating "oh my god" about 50 times and laughing uncontrollably.

Just google Frank Manzo and look as some of his other videos too. That is one fast car! I'll try and find a way to upload this video...
