Larry Dixon gets a Top Alcohol Funny Car license

Larry Dixon can now check something else off his drag racing bucket list.

Dixon, a three-time Top Fuel world champion (2002-2003, 2010) and winner of 62 national events, now is a licensed Top Alcohol Funny Car driver.

Dixon made the necessary runs in the Tony Bartone-owned Top Alcohol Funny Car May 1 at zMax Dragway in Concord, N.C., to receive his license.

“I ended up making six runs in the car,” Dixon said. “You have to make a half-track pass and a couple of moderate runs to get a license in it, so that’s kind of what we did.
