Yeah, but they all look alike - but DAY--UMM they're fast and quick!!!

I had some correspondence with Ted Detar, the son of Gene Snow's original engine builder for the first Rampage cars some time ago. He mentioned that these ultra short wheelbase cars got pretty squirrelly on the top end, thus the extended front ends that came in after the first few years, and thus the end of the door slammer funny cars.... AAHHhhhh, PROGRESS!!!!!
