That chaise was set up perfect, straightest run I have ever seen! I can't remember the car's name or the driver's name, he would race with one hand on the side of the body. It was a hand full to keep it straight!
Hey Mike, thanks for the nice comment. Yes, that was the original Morey & Pettinato Rat Poison. This car is run by the son and grandson of the original team.
I have a Kenny Youngblood limited edition copy of Wild Willy in his AA/Fuel Altered. A gift from Smiley Smullins. I am getting ready to gift it to some deserving person. Someone who won’t turn around and sell it.
The altereds were around long before there were funny cars . They were way too Altered to fit in the stock or gasser classes , so they became their own class .
One of straightest AA/FA runs I’ve ever seen.

F yeah! fuel altered dry hops!
Craziest stuff of all I love it
The old tail of the elephant being scared of the little mouse.
I fondly remember Rat Poison from Rockingham Dragway nearly 50 yrs ago. Is this the same crazy bunch? It appears y'all got better with age.
I saw them at the Rock too!!!!!! They are so awesome!

beautiful run ! . what the F is up with the lights though ? ? wow
What was up with the light? That was weird
In late 60s i seen them at English Town. What a thrill 👍
Altered? Altered from what? Besides a funny car, I mean.
The “Fuel Altered” class name has been around since the 60’s. Our car has never been anything but that. Never a funny car.
No nitro just alcohol
I thinks not sure on that though
Don't forget no aero either
That thing stuck
Well done nice drive
@@andrewk7731Refers to the seat being in the middle I think. Comes from the days when they used to “alter” a chassis.
