Here's some from my collection of burnouts from the early eighties at Santa Pod.


Harlan Thompson burns rubber in Knut Soderquists 'American Grafitti' Dodge Omni.


Steiner Stolen with the ex Keeling & Clayton 'Californian Charger' renamed 'Spirit of Norway' Pontiac Trans Am.


Not sure about this one as the Pod's programme people never put numbers to Scandinavian entries. PC123 anyone? All we can tell is that's its a Plymouth Arrow methanol Funny Car.

that's John Grosland's Arrow with a later paint job

Wasn't this an American import. I seem to recall I have seen photos of this on the Classic Funny Car board forum recently.

yes it was, there was some pics on the H.A.M.B. of it and other cars with Seaport Automotive on the side. I think it was Ohio based but could be wrong
