Funny Car Pictures Raymond Beadle Crash - December 15, 2019 20 1982 Gainsville Florida- Raymond Beadle flips the Blue Max nitro funny car.
I did the same thing at the same spot on track in an A/F dragster but got to be hauled away in a helicopter.
End of an era today. He may have survived crashes like this back in the day but couldn't beat heart disease today. R.I.P dude.
Great video! Thank you! It's a huge help for reference to build the Monogram Blue Max Ford EXP model kit (1/32).
Steve Evans is great, Paul Page ain't. Cars like the Blue Max have character, todays funny cars are amorphic. Just another sign of the times.
It's interesting that they still wore open face helmets and gas masks this recently. Perhaps it just seems that way because I'm young.
Heh, it was funny when the chassis just flew off and he's sitting there lik, "What the heck?". Lol, good to see nobody is hurt though.
blue max drag car fue uno de mis autos favoritos

Ray and the Blue Max were my favorite team as a kid! Wish he was still racing!
he made it look easy to control, even when it was on it's roof!

I remember this one well, spectacular!!
Actually, Beadle was one of the very few that still wore that type.
