Bennie "The Wizard" Osborn is the crew chief in the youtube video. Although the car was becoming obsolete in 1971, it set records at many of the strips it ran at including Lions. It also set (and was the last TF/FED to hold) the NHRA TF Top Speed Record. Tony died in 2004..time is going fast! Thanks for the comments. Regards.
Is that Bennie "The Wizzard" Osborn?? Tony Nancy just passed away within the last year or so ~ this car was bad shit in its' day but by the time Nancy added the side wings, it was just a desperate attempt to keep his front engine top fuel car competitive with the rear engine cars that began to appear in late 70's and were full on by '72.
