1967 World Finals in Tulsa, Oklahoma
1967

I would like to dedicate this page to Bruce Wheeler, who once owned the famed WHEELER DEALER top fuel dragster out of Washington, D.C. Although the Wheeler Dealer car, along with rookie driver Al Friedman, didnt make the cut at the '67 Finals in Tulsa, Bruce has been a great help to me with this project. Thanx Bruce, for your contributions!
