Darwin Doll, one of the original NHRA Division Directors (Division 1) passed away Tuesday. He was a great guy who loved drag racing. RIP Dude...

Sigh. OK, Darwin is now a Legend in Heaven.

Here's a great 1960s "family" photo from NHRA's early days. In front, from left, were Bill "Farmer" Dismuke, Wally Parks, and Jack Hart. In the rear were the current division directors, many of them the originals appointed by Parks. From left, Divisions 1 through 7: Darwin Doll, Buster Couch, Bob Daniels, Dale Ham, Darrell Zimmerman, Terrell Poage, and Bernie Partridge.

They did it for LOVE.

A lot of the Division directors were racers. Poage ran a Top Gas Dragster if I remember right.

Earl Poage ran Top Gas. Bernie "Bird" Partridge ran a Modified Roadster. Bob Daniels ran an Altered.
