The Batmobile Funny Car That Changed Drag Racing

From Mickey Thompson’s enclosed dragsters and the Glass Slipper to Don Garlits’ Swamp Rat 30, Gary Ormsby’s Castrol GTX streamliner and Kenny Bernstein’s “Batmobile” Funny Car, drag racing went through a full-blown aero arms race. This video breaks down how wedges, wings, canopies and wind tunnels took the sport from brute-force horsepower to 270+ mph missiles – and why some of those radical designs blew over, broke parts, or were quietly abandoned. If you love old-school NHRA, Funny Cars, Top Fuel and the experimental stuff that changed the rulebook, this one’s for you.
