Pictured is the original Funny Car the team built in their garage for Match Racing, I think Pete drove a newer Charger
in the late 70's just before Frank Hawley came on to be the new pilot . Austin Coil was tough on drivers, he went through many......!
With a little research ....Pete drove the Chi-Town Ford Mustang.....their only Ford body and maybe this Charger
winning the IHRA Crown.....even though I was editor of Drag Review for the IHRA it's hard to remember this stuff.
If you go back to the early 70's Pete was crew chief for Jungle Jim ....wow !
