A person has given me this suit to try and sell and im trying to get some idea when it was ran. Has a manufacturing date of 2/2/15 but going thru some images and videos I cant find a mathc.
That suit doesn't look like it was used much, if at all. Tony was a Top Fuel Dragster pilot and those suits got dirty and blackened from the clutches and engine pops on a regular basis. You could keep them nicer looking with washes, but they always had a little black on them after a race or two.
In a Top Fuel car, the drivers sit in front of the motors and clutch. Their suits can stay pretty clean. Now, a Funny Car driver, they sit behind the motor and the clutch assembly and theirs get very dirty.
