@bubblejomay ~ Connie Kallita now campaigns 2 top fuel cars and 1 funny car. Check out the NHRA website ~ his nephew (Scott Kalitta) drives one of the fuelers. Connie's son (Scott) was killed last year driving the funny car but Connie continues to race. I was at the 1967 Winternationals when Kalitta won Top Fuel with his SOHC "cammer" Ford. I was also at the 1971 Winternations when Pete Robinson was killed trying to qualify his SOHC top fuel car.
At 1:04 of this video shows a car that really impressed me 40 years ago at a track in Crofton Maryland where Ohio George punished a field of 31 of the top gasser and won the meet. He had the only Ford powered car in the event. It was a night to remember. Sept., 1970
What happened to Conrad "Connie" Kallita? During the sixties and seventies he had a dragster called the "Bounty Hunter" which also had the legendary Ford SOHC motor in it.
