THE WA
BLAST FROM
THE PAST
Mike Boyd carries on the legacy of the iconic “Winged Express” fuel altered,
laying down a hellacious burnout across the starting line of the equally
legendary Bakersfield starting line. Made famous by “Wild Willie” Borsch and
Alvin “Mousie” Marcellus in the Seventies, this version of the ‘23 Ford fuel
altered was spotted in AA/Fuel Altered competition at the NHRA California Hot
Rod Reunion, the season finale for the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series.
