Real bummer this car crashed. Tony Noto in his 1974 Grumpy's Toy Vega Pro Stock replica. This was hands down my favorite car at the March Meet. My dad had a Popular Hot Rodding centerfold of this car in my room when I was a kid. Let's hope Tony will rebuild...I want to see more Nostalgia Pro Stock cars like this one with the vintage wheels and dry hops (something you don't see anymore).

I hope everyone likes my little Diamond P replay tribute.

  • good heads up by the truck

  • One of Grumpy's 1977 Vega's driven by Larry Lombardo, wound up in the hands of Super Gas Racer Rick Webb. it became the first car in NHRA history to win at the same National Event in two seperate catagories Pro Stk 1977, and Super Gas 1992..... Same car.

    In this one, it looks like the car snapped an axle.

  • HAHA, i too love the diamond p decade of thrills music... great car btw, sorry to see it wreck.

  • LOVE the Diamond P "dramatic" music dubbed in! Sucks to see a nice replica get wrecked.

  • Ok, what was the real reason for control loss?? He got to wiggling a bit before he lost it entirely. Fluid loss from the car, or maybe a track issue!! After looking at it again, it appears that smoke or steam is under the car prior to the car getting wiggly. Fluid loss getting under the rear tires would cause this type of wreck!
