Bootsie's Chariot and one of my favorites.

Watched the Gladiator crash again last night on Time Travel 18. This time from the spectator banking. Loved the paint design before the crash but afterwards it looked liked a rush job to me and never stood out against the other Funny Cars of its era.

This would be the Blue funny Jerry

Talking of the Gladiator there's an excellent picture in the latest issue of Drag Racing Confidential of the car after the fire and the flip.

Loved that car. Doug's got some cracking stuff there. Can't wait for the rest. Wish I could dive into one of those suitcases my self.

Of course the other main feature of these shows was some amazing customs and rods so for a change and something different here's some of Doug's from one of the shows.

What a great tribute to the TV series 'The Prisoner' Model T was. I bet the rod doesn't exist now.
