Terry is a good guy and a good sport. He hit a timing block at Columbus and destroyed the body. I managed to get the block pieces and brought them to his pit to get an autograph. He smiled, laughed and signed it, invited me into his pit and told me some stories. Looks good sitting on my printer.

love it. only a drag racer would look at that block of foam and understand exactly what they are looking at.
you could give most people 100 guesses and they'd have no clue at all, and wonder why you have a broken foam block as decoration

Foam blocks are way better than the old cones & even hay bales. Blocks can still tear up the car.

Doesn't take much at that speed. I recall Garlits telling the story about getting hit in the helmet at 260mph by a large bug, probably one of those big beetles, that nearly knocked him out. Many people believe Don Schumacher introduced the canopy to Top Fuel racing but it was Garlits, 1986, likely in response to the beetle which knocked him stupid.

In the 1960's, some Division II tracks used CBS blocks!

Waaay back in the 60's, 2 types of injectors on T/F. The Bug Catcher (first one) and the Bird Catcher. There was a reason for those names.....
