Western Australian Modified state champion Sam Treasure will be stepping up next season, recently bringing the ex-Chris Stipanovich Nitro Funny Car across the continent. The team will be spending some time on methanol first as they learn about running a supercharged vehicle. They will also be modifying the car to run as both an altered and a funny car. “As it is now it’s a complete Nitro Funny Car with all spares,” Treasure said. “The only thing that it’s missing is a blower. “It has a brand new spare block and brand new spare crank, the motor in the car has only done 12 passes since new. “We will be modifying the car to run on alcohol and run Supercharged Outlaws for a while then maybe nostalgia nitro.” {fcomment}
