Was reading on Comp Plus that JR Todd was the first Black driver to win T/F in NHRA, some years ago, and now with his F/C win at Sonoma, he is first Black driver to win F/C. I got to thinking about this. I'm sure that there were a few Black drivers in T/F years ago, but can't remember if they won national events in any sanctioning body. F/C, I well remember Malcom Durham, The DC LIp, very popular driver in 1970's. I'm wondering if he won an IHRA race or maybe AHRA, or maybe it was just some big independent races.
Anyhoo, just wondering if anyone remembers about the Black drivers. Alan R, does this ring a bell? Does Lewis have anything in his super brain about this? I wish I could remember 1/10th of what he does.
