Bernell Russell takes a ride in LD's 2 seat T/F dragster

[turbo ken]

(Copied from MaxCacklePhotos) Burnell Russell, father of the late Texan Top Fuel driver Darrell Russell, was the co-pilot yesterday in Larry Dixon's two seater Top Fuel Dragster at US 131 Motorsports Park! Chris Russell, Burnell's son, surprised his father who had no idea what his day had in store until he arrived at the track and saw his name on the side of the car! Very, very cool! Larry Dixon (he went 3.34 @ 259 in the 1/8th).

BURNELL RUSSELL, FATHER OF DARRELL RUSSELL, GETS A RECORD-SETTING NITRO RIDE | Competition Plus

Burnell Russell only wanted to understand better what his sons felt from a Top Fuel car. Saturday, September 7, 2019, Burnell not only felt what his son, the late Darrell Russell, did when he was a passenger on a pass down the drag strip but also made a bit of United States drag racing history...
