The late Steve Pluger will be
best remembered by all the incredible funny cars he built, owned
and raced over the decades of his career. Few, very few are aware
that he and his brother built and raced this top fuel car in
1967. These are the only photos I've ever seen of it. By all
accounts it was first class from front to back. I wish I would
have known about this car while Steve was still with us so I
could have got the scoop from the horses mouth WDIFL, its about
history.

drove before turning over the seat to the likes of a young Carl
Olson.
