I mean, do I think any of my time with Capps is good enough for my top five, probably not. Not yet. I\u2019ve got a wider stretch to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Blue Max and Jungle Jim had a lot of cars over time and they were always very dominant and had very good race cars. I can\u2019t single it down to just one specific time frame or year or car. I\u2019m looking at it over a period of time. As for the Snake, probably his Army car, in my opinion, was his dominant car. The rest of them it\u2019s just what I think were influential over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MyRideisMe.com thanks 70sfunnycars.com, draglist.com, monza.homestead.com, bluemaxfunnycar.com and fastmachines.com for the pictures shown.<\/p>\n<p>Another big thanks to Judy Stropus from <a title=\"Official website for Schumacher racing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shoeracing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Don Schumacher Racing<\/a> and her intern Leah Vaughn for getting the info out of these Funny Car legends.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s your top 5?
