It is my understanding that a driver named Paul Pritchett was the last known driver to be killed in a front engine dragster, at the AHRA Winternationals in AZ in 1971. This was just a few weeks after the tragic death of Pete Robinson in his FED at Pomona, the same year Garlits won at Pomona with his new "front driver" dragster.
Anyone know if this Paul Pritchett is any relation to Gary Pritchett, current Top Fuel crew member, TAD driver (and winner of the recent Divisional race in Norwalk), and husband #2 to Leah Pritchett (now of course Leah Stewart)?
