Built on a full tube chassis from Logghe Stamping Company and powered by a blown big block Chevy, it looked like a gasser but underneath it was something entirely different. The National Hot Rod Association took one look and shut it down before it ever made a pass. Most cars fade away after a moment like that. This one didn’t. Rebuilt with a nitro burning Chrysler Hemi and unleashed on the outlaw match racing circuit, the F Troop Willys became one of the most feared machines of its time. Running low 8 second passes at over 180 miles per hour, it outperformed the fastest legal gassers in America and helped blur the line between gassers and Funny Cars. This is the story of a car that didn’t just break the rules. It exposed the limits of an entire class. From its rejection at tech inspection to its dominance on nitromethane, and its role in launching a racing dynasty that continues today with Austin Prock, the legacy of the F Troop Willys reaches far beyond a single machine. Sometimes the cars that don’t fit the rules end up changing the sport forever. watch next :    • The ‘Football’: Big John Mazmanian’s Most ...      • The Car Everyone Laughed At… Until It Beat...      • Why This Tiny Ford Anglia Became the Most ...      • The Most Hated Drag Car Ever? How a Tiny V...
