BRUTE HORSEPOWER AT NITRO KNOCKOUT
S ince technology moves sitting ignored for decades are living on with a purpose far beyond what they were originally built for. This year several “Nitro Knockout” warriors were on hand including the AA/FD "Nitro forward, one-time dragstrip warriors that have been Syndicate" recreation of a Woodie Gilmore dragster owned by Larry Wolyniec. Larry has a long history in the Nitro racing categories with the Chicago-based Funny Car team “Chi-Town Hustler” and others. Larry and local rodder/racer Dave Huber were the principals behind this year’s Nitro Knockout. Another highlight was Larry’s AA/FC Fuel Coupe ’34 Ford, a black and flamed masterpiece. Rob Stewart owns SpeedMaster and his AA/FD fired up Thursday through Saturday at 11am and 2:30pm to massive crowds gathered near the entrance to the South Wing of the exhibit hall. The true spirit and bravery of these early racecar drivers really comes to light when raw horsepower belches from the zoomies!
