The HISTORY of Jack Chrisman's 1965 Comet FUNNY CAR

Is the Jack Chrisman Comet the first funny car? It's debatable, and there are many arguments about which cars were the true innovator of the class. I break down the history of the Jack Chrisman car, which is truly the first factory-appearing car to run on nitro methane with an absolute beast of an engine combination...very similar to a front engine dragster of the era. It's a piece of DRAG RACING HISTORY, and the car is still alive and well in East Tennessee. It is completely restored to its early 1965 configuration (blown and injected SOHC engine on nitro), but as you'll see in the video, this car changed a lot in a matter of two years. In fact, funny car racing (it wasn't even a real class until later in the 1960's) was an ever-evolving group of cars. Most were exhibition cars at heart, but the convergence of tire-smoking exhibition cars and wheelstanding altered wheelbase cars created what we now know as funny cars. The real revolutionary change in funny car racing was the creation of the one-piece fiberglass flip top body, an idea that materialized in 1966 with Mercury's factory-backed creations. That flip top body defined funny cars and that specific trait stands to this day, no matter how many changes have occurred in the AA/FC class over the years. The restored Sachs and Sons Comet stands as one of the most historic cars in all of drag racing and we go into full detail to tell you about its history, and its restoration by Jim Barillaro in the 1980's. Jim's two sons are now carrying on the legacy of their father, and the legacy of one of the most famous and influential drag cars in the history of the sport. Don't forget to stick around to the end of the video to hear this blown and injected cammer run on a heavy load of nitro methane! #hotrodhoarders #funnycar #history
