1965 Funny Car Revisits 1965 Atlantic Dodge Flyer
Mark Ulinski, Racine, WI
'65 Atlantic Dodge Flyer
Vehicle: Original restored
Original driver: Charlie Allen, Los Angeles, California
For slightly less exciting thrills, Kohlmann will also be campaigning the "wild card" of the '02 A/FX tour, the original Atlantic Dodge Flyer built in mid-1965 by racer Charlie Allen for west coast use. According to sources, the car posted an amazing 25 victories during its short half-season appearance, including a runner-up in class at the U.S. Nationals. Now owned by collector Mark Ulinski, also of Racine, this car made its first public appearance in almost 35 years at Bruce Larson's bash last November. Many aficionados were unaware that this car remained in existence. A true artifact, but now updated to current specs, the car will be seen at a select number of venues this year, based on available opportunities. According to Brian, after it has made a few passes, it will probably be retired for good. See it if you get a chance. View Related Article
