LEGENDS: THE SERIES - WHIT BAZEMORE (1 Viewer)

[Bobby Bennett]

In this episode, I focused mainly on his fight to be a Funny Car driver. I found it most interesting in those early years after a few fires, his admitted fear of getting back in the car.

Legend? LMFAO!

Indeed a legend. I put him with Del Worsham, Force and Kalitta as legends who bootstrapped themselves to success. This man started with nothing and rose to the top an extremely expensive and clanish sport. Do you notice his sincere appreciation for those who helped him? Well done Bobby. I would like to see a piece of Whit after the Windston deal.

Well done. Great to view.

Legend? LMFAO!

Hell yeah, he was a guy who wasn't scared to call out Team Force for diving, which is surely why you don't think highly of him.

 

[Rat]

He is a legend if you like it or not. Anyone in my book who changes the flow of a particular industry (this case NHRA Funny Car) is a legend by definition.

I don't really remember Whit as being humble.....but maybe the NHRA didn't project that.....

Good interview Bobby.
I’ve long been a Whit Bazemore fan.
He earned his way into the seat of a nitro funny car, and did fairly well. And I don’t blame him for getting out. He looks really relaxed now.
Plus, he has excellent photography skills.

Great episode. Like him or hate him, he paid his dues and he said what he wanted. I wished he were still driving.

Great job! I've always liked Whit's feisty attitude. I would like to hear more of what he had to say and I noticed that is was one of the longer interviews in the series.

wait until you watch the Legends the Series show on Terry Haddock......

I can't wait.

I would also like to see a part two, the years after Winston up until he left the sport. Great job Mr. Bennett!

 

[stitcherbob]

I can't wait.

Unfortunately I don't have any footage from our cruise night years ago where TH wanted a sponsor, was parked in Wendy's Hamburgers lot, and refused to fire it up for 300 people and some of the franchise owners unless the restaurant gave him money for nitro.....

So Buster Jackson fired up his new "Soul Shaker" Camaro and did a burnout through the drive-thru

The bad news keeps on coming. The Island Dragway racing family recently lost another long-time member with the passing of Buster Jackson. Jackson was a well-known competitor going back to the early...

the years profiled were what made whit; an independent owner. that is the real story. his years as a hired driver were good too, but not as good as coming up and doing it on your own.

Excellent, I'm sure "Hip" Roger is enjoying this from above.
