Wow, I just wasted an hour of a Saturday morning
Some great stuff. I learned a few things:

Tom Hoover drove a rail before funnies

John Force wasn't very picky about sponsors in '86: "JOB : Roll With the Best"
Take the money wherever you can get it, I guess.

It's called recovering from rotator cuff surgery!!!
I've got nothing to do but surf the web and therapy.
I was bored out of my mind on day 2,now on week 4,and it ain't getting any better-the boredom that is.

way too cool.
learned something too........looking at eddie hill pics, then clicked on
his wikpedia page and read this.......

In 1960, he became the first driver to heat his rear tires with a burnout and he was the first driver to use smaller front tires on a dragster in 1958.[3] Hill introduced the aerodynamic front wing to dragsters and charcoal masks for driver safety.[10]

I have to admit that I have mixed emotions about you pointing out this link. I have already spent an hour there and not even scratched the surface. Now I have it bookmarked and will no doubt spend many more hours looking at pics. I just don't have the time. I mean, Virgil Cates???? I saw that guy race at Dragway 42 when I was a kid (I am 58 now!). Thanks for the link. Ain't this sport addictive?
