Not many will dispute the fact
that Raymond Beadle and the legendary "Blue Max" Mustang was
one of the all-time great AA/Funny Cars. Beadle raced at the
Nightfire many times, winning once. This burnout shot comes
from the `77 Nightfire 500 and if you look closely you'll
see the Funny Car of Tom McEwen driven by John Collins (in
the staging lanes). In addition to scoring a number of
premiere event victories throughout the country, the
Texas-based team was also one of the biggest event wearable
sellers, too. Wonder how many of you still have your
original Blue Max t-shirts, hat pins or baseball caps. We
do!
