Funny Cars aren't resurected just yet. There is a match race in Sydney on the 29th of October between the Bailey Brothers and Ricky Monsterat and some more match races coming as well with about 4 to 6 Nitro Funny Cars in attendance including the Ford Forums sponsored car.........

Would love to see your Funny Car make its way over to the Motorplex for the Nitro Funny Car night.

Bailey Brothers always take on Dobbo would be awesome if you could rock over here with them and give Dobbo a serve .

Awesome paint job. Real nice looking ride
