Now we know the answer ! One question , is the new Fuel funny championship over 1,000 ft or the full quarter ? It does not say in the press release but I do know both the Pod and Hockenhiem were very anti 1,000ft in TF and would hope it's staying with tradition.

Quarter Mile according to Santapod website. Even more good news !!
The official announcement of this series is exciting news. Potential 6 to 8 fuel funny car field competing by end of 2013. Sounds like a lot of hard work has been going on behind the scenes.
Early Xmas present.

Derek mentioned on Facebook that spuff is still very much involved being half owner of the car, and he will help him learn to drive the car. Festival of power is looking like it should be a great event, can't wait for it!

Does anyone know who the 4 teams are?

Assuming 2 shockwave cars and the showtime car, is Leif the 4th?

On Facebook this year there have been several photos of a West 10 funny Shelly Pearson is to drive, I assume she is amongst the 2 teams scheduled but not signed up yet.

There was a funny car at hockenheim last year, a red one, it was for sale as a rolling chassis and body, not sure who is selling it though. The ex patrik pers mustang is in the hands of Dennis Nilsson, as for the ex pers Camaro, not sure. Henriks car is, so I am told, the ex knut redline car, as mentioned running a stig motor
