Another one bites the dust! A REAL legend in drag racing. I'm sorry to see him go. http://jalopnik.com/363084/lil-john-buttera-funny-car-legend-dead-at-67
This is the guy that built his own chassis for the 1987 Indianapolis 500, it qualified 8th I think. Saw him appear on Monster Garage a few seasons back when Paul Gentilozzi donated a Rocketsports Lola.
