WITH DREW SWEETMAN PUTTING SOME HEAT IN THE TIRES, the SWEETMAN BROTHERS Nostalgia Funny Car runs a supercharged, alcohol-burning Keith Black® 526 ci Hemi. Match racing in the mid-1980's, the team put the car away until 2004, when Nostalgia Funny Cars became popular. From Elkton, MD, Owner Henry Sweetman, Crew Chief Dannie Sweetman, along with Henry Sweetman, has a best ET of 7.11 @ 190 mph--fast enough to keep the crowds entertained.

Love the old-school look!

THE HAWAIIAN, TOP FUEL DRAGSTER, with his Keith Black® engine, owner Roland Leong and driver Don "the Snake" Prudhomme were a force to contend with. And how did the Hawaiian get it's name (besides the fact that Roland was from Hawaii)? "When Joe Anderson was painting the car, he asked me, ‘Well, what are you going to name it?’ I said I don’t know, so he said, ‘Well, you’re from Hawaii; why not call it the Hawaiian?’ So I said okay and that was that."

We are sure you agree with us--the Hawaiian was one of the great --the Hawaiian was one of the great ones!

THE MASTER HIMSELF, KEITH BLACK, performing some final tuning on Banzai, a blown fuel hydro, with owner/driver Barry McCown looking on. On March 31, 1963, Barry set a new World Record at Long Beach Marine Stadium in this Hallett hydro--a blazing 161.87 mph.

Share your memories or photos of other blown fuel hydros that Keith was involved with. We'd love to see them or hear some stories.
