First "Funny Car". Now that should get mired down in opinion, this could be another Rat Rod go round!

Are you talking about the first guys to get caught altering their S/S car's wheelbase, or are you talking like Doug Thorley's Nova, or are we moving to the first removable body, tube frame, looks like an S/S kind of car? There's probably almost as many ideas of what constitutes a "funny car" as there are people on this forum.

I see Justin piped in while I was typing the first part of this, and already we're getting a definition that serves Pelligrini, but doesn't accurately deal with the origins of the term.
