Nick Davies hangs the front wheels in his appropriately named “ Havoc ” AA / FA Fuel Altered at Santa Pod Raceway ’ s annual Dragstalgia , a celebration of all things nostalgia drag racing . Davies battled an ill-handling car throughout the event yet still managed to reach the final round of the Cannonball portion of the event , which brings together nitro- and methanol-burning nostalgia Funny Cars , front-engine dragsters , and Altereds . Despite his best efforts , Davies fell in the final to Tim Garlick in his consistent “ Apache ” Nostalgia Funny Car .
