Funny Cars: Transportation for your Next Trip?

by Jamie Rhein (RSS feed) on Jun 6th 2007 at 4:30PM

Watching people run after cheese in Justin's post Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake reminded me of the power tool drag racing post I wrote a little while back. It's the zanyiness of these activities that attracts me. This video is of the Funny Car division at the Power Tool Drag races recently held in Phoenix, Arizona. The ambiance is captured through the announcer's voice, as well as the black and white checkered flags. You'll notice that mufflers aren't part of the car designs. Some of these contraptions remind me of something you'd see in a Monty Python sketch.
