flopper
« on: January 22, 2007, 12:24:31 AM »
It has been 50 yrs since I was at El Mirage.  Uncle got me. I was member of Russetta Timing Association.  Lurking around these forums, I see that many of the same arguments are going on.  I have a question.  I have seen the term 'flopper' used.  What does this describe.

Thanks, Louis Eyanson

A "FLOPPER" describes a car body that is hinged like a modern Funny Car.
Hey, did you know we are still arguing about trash pickup and the Hi Boy Roadster hasn't been perfected yet ?
I'll bet the taste of the dirt came right back to you.
Not much really changes and I hope it never will.
