Ronnie Scrima
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronnie Scrima is an American dragster and funny car chassis builder.
He was responsible for the streamliner slingshot dragster Scrimaliner in 1964.[1]
After Logghe Bros. (based in Detroit[2]) proved unable to keep up with demand, a funny car chassis-building industry developed. Scrima joined several others in the business.
Scrima founded Exhibition Engineering,[3] and built both “dune buggy”- and “fueler”-style funny car chassis.[4]
He also built Travelin' Javelin, a 426 hemi-powered '69 Javelin Funny Car, for car owner Gary Crane, to be driven by the then up-and-coming Dale Armstrong.[5]
