Russell's funny carRussell is racing in the Top Comp category at the Perth Motorplex this season with a funny car.

The body of the funny car is a Dodge Datona and is powered by a BAE 521 with a 3 speed Lenco and a Mark Williams rear end.

The body and chassis was originally owned by Mark Thomas and known as the ethanol corn car and was photographed in front of the White House with George Bush.

Under it's previous colours of green and yellow this funny car was also featured in the professional drag racing video game IHRA Professional Drag Racing 2005. Which was released for XBOX and Playstation2.

Our personal best has been 5.722 seconds on the quarter mile (247.93 mph or 398.99 kph).
