Everyone was trying to build a “better mouse trap” during the 1960’s in Top Fuel action, and innovation was alive and well.

Now days Jim Dunn tunes and owns the nitro Funny Cars driven by Tony Bartone on the NHRA/Powerade tour. For professional motorsports photography contact Steve Reyes at sb.reyes@cox.net
