Oldest NHRA Winner

[Cliff]

OK, according to the latest issue of Dragster, Ken Bowers, age 77, is the oldest National Event winner. He won Super Gas at the recent New England Nationals in a 1957 Corvette roadster, and had a .007 RT in the final. He is from Islip, NY. Is there, or was there, a drag strip in Islip? Anyhoo, I'd like to know about Divisional winners as well. I think it's a given that someone older has won races at a local level. John Force is only 69, so he has a ways to go. Oh, who is the oldest driver to win a Pro championship? I'm thinking Eddie Hill in T/F. Alan, you have any info on this?
