    Funny,? Little John Buttera, back in the 70's was the chassis builder for most all the big named funny car guys, Snake, Mongoose, Shoe, Piasano, and Others, and he's not even listed? Who stamped his cars, Bob?:confused: I still have my stamp, wonder if its worth anything, Only One In The World. :rolleyes:

    Little John was part of R&B Automotive Engineering in Kenosha, Wisconsin when he was building race car chassis.

    Chuck Finders listed twice? #90 and #153

    And is Kevin Murray #93 still building aircraft? or retired? seems everyone in the north east had his alcohol dragsters back in the old days. Including Bill Walsh.

    Dan; been there at the start................. first number on the steel stamp was #11 that of course was Woody. Some (as in today's rules announcements) didn't go over real well at the start, some a little reluctant to send in money. That should explain why my number #28 was ahead of Don Long #33 even though he'd been in business before me by a few years.
