Funny Cars. “We need to beat those funny cars” ~Fran Hernadez – Mercury’s Chief of Racing. And with that statement a class of drag cars were defined in the mid-sixties. Although we have long since gotten past the altered wheel base cars that Mr. Hernadez was referencing, the modern NHRA funny car is a carbon fiber bodied dragster that uses the same engines and fuel found in the Top Fuel Dragsters. With top speeds hitting 330 MPH and 3.8 seconds passes on the quarter mile, these speed demons are incredible examples of power and acceleration. Auto World’s latest 4-Gear release (SC405) brings the 2023 NHRA Funny cars to life on your HO scale race track. This release includes four liveries from some of the most competitive drivers and you can now race them in your living room. Just leave the windows open to clear out the tire smoke and burning Nitrometh!
