There seems to be a resurgence in Fuel Funny Cars in 2007, ?Possible drivers.

1. John Spuffard.
2. Gordon Smith
3. Leif Helander
4. Gary Page
5. Junior Olley
6. Tony Betts (driving Harlan Thompsons old Daytona.)
7. Patrick Pers.
8. Harlan Thompson.

l emailed Shakey & The Pod about them running Funny Car Championship rounds, this is the reply l received from Shakey. When l get a reply from The Pod l'll let you know.

Thank you for your e-mail regarding a European Funny Car Championship round taking place at Shakespeare County Raceway. At this time the track has received no contact with any race organisation for the Funny Cars this season and at present, we have no intentions of running these cars or entertaining a championship round until at least 2008.

With regards to your list of possible drivers, as far as I understand it, Tony Betts will be running NFAA this year, and has since sold the ex-Harlan Thompson Dodge Daytona to Glenn Child who now has it for sale on e-bay.

Last year didn't Knut Soderquist put two of his Fuelers up for sale and buy two Fuel Funnies when he was in the States?

Yes and one of those Patrik Pers is driving at Easter with the old Terry Haddock Camaro body on it. The other is the old Mike Ashley show car Pontiac Firebird from his Worsham days.

You going to see any of these Funny cars run this year John?
