Records were broken daily but winning at Indy is the biggest accomplishment a drag racer can make. The car ran a fuel injected 283ci/283hp most of it's career but switched to dual quads for it's final season. It's name "In-Bomber" is a fuel injected play on "Embalmer" with a zombie hand and syringe emblazoned on the sides. The car was fully restored in 2010 to "as raced" appearance.
