• Ford Falcons were raced at many drag strips across the country, Ford built two special "Thunderbolt" styled Falcons at Dearborn Steel Tubing, one went to Dick Brannan who was Ford's drag racing captain in 1964 and a 1965 Falcon went to Phil "Daddy Warbucks" Bonner. the rest were built by other race teams. These Falcon competed in N.H.R.A's A/FX Class. The class breaks were 0 – 8.99 lbs. per cubic inch for A/FX, 9.00 – 12.99 lbs./ci for B/FX, and 13.0 or more for C/FX. The S/S classes were for production stock cars. In 1965 the A/FX cars evolved in to altered wheel base cars by moving the front and rear wheels forward to create better weight transfer for traction. These cars were match raced against each other and similar Mopar and GM cars of the time, these races were called "Match Bash". As racing evolved these funny looking cars were given fiberglass bodies and became "Funny Cars"
