As with Stage Fright, our funny car Strange Behavior was finished in 2000 and was on the cover and featured in Full Throttle magazine in Feb. of 2007. Not bad after six years of racing abuse and hundreds of runs.

Awesome photos Mike. Drag racing like it should be, a working mans game. No corporate sponsor, no multi million dollar shop. I love the lawn mower & bikes in the garage. Looks like your having a great time. Bill

Well, we were not able to get the dragster panels off to paint yet, but finally fired the car up last Sat. at Sacramento Raceway's "funnycar fever" event. Got to do a burnout but had reverser problems and could not get the car in reverse.
