Rolling Thunder is and has been Tony's car since he got it from Rod Patson. It is the original "Rat Trap" that Jimmy Moore brought to AK in the 70's. He sold it to Bob Lunsford who had RCS change the front end and roll cage. Lunsford ended up selling it to Rod Pattson and Corky Everts. Rod bought Corky out and the car set in his garage for years until Tony got it in the 80's The dragsters 1 F/E on the left is Tracy's car that Wayne Fisher got from Tony Nancy and sold to John Childs who raced for several years under the name "Ricki Tiki Tavi" He sold the car to another guy and then Tracy bought it and won the championship that year. Skip Coil found the car and sent it back to Nancy before he passed away.The R/E car is Steve Bell from Tok who got the car from the Snelson Lamay team. Pretty sure that it ended up called "Spoiled Rotten" owned by Brian Ratliff that crashed at the finish line. I think that pure poison is Ted Queen and Something Special is Bob Richardson from B & R My brother used to keep Steve Bells car (The Tok Bandit) stored in his garage in palmer so he didn't have to tow it back and fourth from Tok. I must have only been 16-18 back then but remember drooling over that rail then. From the stories I have heard sounds like there was some crazy stuff going on at the track back in the 80's.

The metallic blue RE dragster in the show, facing the camera, is the one in my shop. (not sure of it being the Dr. Bacardi car)?? My RED is setting on the rack next to Gene's old Monza. I have more pics that I'd love to post, we should pin or "sticky" the pic threads!

Was screamin' eagle John or Jay's car? Yeah scott, John dixon owns it now. and in my own opinion, it looks a lot better now then it did then. The body looks like it sits really low in the back in that picture. or maybe they just cut the lower section of the car off. Has the same paint job that robs dragster does too! That front engine dragster looks like Robby Hauck's from ths 80's or it could be tracey harris's fed. By golly it does! lol Rob
