Originally John Somorancz of John Somorancz Race Cars built an exact replica of the old early seventies “Pyscho 3” fuel altered for Graeme Cowin a number of years ago. When Cowin decided to put together a second fuel altered “Bezerk”, based closely on his Nostalgia Funny Car concept last year, the original “Pyscho 3” was around a half second slower. Over the summer break the car was sent back to Somorancz Race Cars to be lengthened so it would be more in keeping with its rival. The car ran like a limo and with a new TFX 413 engine in the frame rails. Shane Olive was able to squeeze some 6.2s out of the car.

The Fuel Altered match race between Shane Olive and the “Berzerk” T Bucket of Rick Gauci was a barn burner. With Olive coming to grips with a longer and more powerful “Pyscho 3” Gauci had three good wins running a series of 6.1s along the way.

The gorgeous gold colored Front Engined Dragster of David Armstrong was pretty as a picture over the course of the day and also took a solid win over opponent Norm Longfield in race one of their bracket. When Longfield broke as a result of that lap he wasn’t allowed to do a side by side pass with Matt Evans alky FED so did a couple more solos resulting in a personal best 6.20 @ 219.9 mph first 4.0 half track ET on the day.
