Something Missing?

Tony Nancy was a well known drag racer in the 1960s. He began quarter-mile racing after building a rapid reputation at El Mirage Dry Lake when he was just a speed-crazy kid. He was a member of the Throttle Merchants Club, in the San Fernando Valley. Always competitive, Tony's best finish was when he won the Competition Eliminator title at the 1963 NHRA Winternationals. That Pomona-winning ride was a blown and injected Plymouth-powered AA/C '23-T Modified roadster. Just as impressively, he also won Best Engineered car at the same event with his first dragster, a Top Gas, wedge-powered digger that helped him hold the Drag News No. 1 spot for nearly a year. Tony raced in Australia, Japan and Germany, and was the captain of the U.S. drag racing team that toured Europe in 1964.
