3A) Is Don Prudhomme, it was in Englishtown 1994 in one of Paul Page's favorite kind of races, a pedalfest. I stand corrected, I believe the first time he qualifed may have been E-Town in 94.

No. 1 - "The Longest Day" was in 1973. Clayton Harris won Top Fuel, and Candies and Hughes won funny car with Leroy Goldstien driving. Candies and Hughes also set a new Top Fuel National Record in their dragster with Bill Wiggington driving at 6.03....................

I wonder how I remember all of that?
