If your hinting at Lucas, you should re-evaluate your thinking. His company is nothing to sneeze at. Yea he's won nothing compared to the guys on that list, but he owns tracks, he sponsors races, tv shows. and RACERS. Anyone who puts their money into drag racing to help it prosper should be respected. Lucas Oil is a huge part of the racing industry and remember, he seems to put most of his money in the NHRA.

.... remember, he seems to put most of his money in the NHRA.....

The naming right for Lucas Stadium was $121 Million, plus he owns the drag boat series and the off-road series...
Drag racing is only a part of his motorsports support...

Yes, but part of that deal was that all Indiana State vehicles from plows to police cars, have to buy and use Lucas Oil products. Forrest is a very savvy business man, and does a lot to help out the racers in several different motorsports. He deserves to be recognized.

YES, the answer to the original question is Lucas. The Lucas name does not fit into the equation. The others are drivers, engine builders, and tuners.

Did I pass the NHRA S.A.T. question?

Damn, Who Cares!!!

Lucas well deserved.

 

[Rajunz]

Also forgotten in all of this is the fact that he is listed as the official starter for the race, NOT as an NHRA legend. Get it right.

Yeah, Brainerd obviously doesn't rate a legend, I'm kinda dissapointed, you'd think WJ would've been a good choice as a legend in Minnesota...

 

[mick]

if you want to look at another way, which one is presently making a difference
in the sport we all love.........oh, that would be Mr. Lucas.
whatever his duties will be @ BIR, maybe they will become annual; us fans
in the upper midwest are lucky to have his name associated with and sponsoring
the BIR nat. event.

 

[Nick Name]

I would have to go with Jenkins. The rest are nitro guys.

Definitely WJ, even Tom Hoover would have been an excellent choice.

Thats interesting. I had wondered how that expendature was justified. Now I know. Very savvy indeed.

That's not really a bad deal, all Lucus products I've used has been excellent.

Oh dam !!! I thought is was Muldowney

Guess it depends on what day it is which side of the fence you are on. Two weeks ago it seemed the choosing of Lucas as the "Legend" --- wait now he is the "Honorary Starter" --- was a bad thing... today in this thread everyone is defending Lucas.

I thought they were choosing "legends" to start each race..... Just sayin..

Nothing against Lucas, like Mike Said "us fans
in the upper midwest are lucky to have his name associated with and sponsoring
the BIR nat. event." I just thought choosing WJ or Tom Hoover would have been more appropriate when compared to those who have already been chosen thus far.

If whoever makes the choices wants to choose an "honorary stater", then there's no better choice then Forrest Lucas and I wont' complain.

I agree on the "honorary starter" title for Forrest, he's done some great things for the sport, and I'm very happy to have him as the sponsor for the BIR nationals. I'm just dissapointed that we don't get a "legend" for the race.

I can see it now.....

"Crew chiefs are you ready? Driv... er... Ray Charles are YOU ready? Race fans are you ready for some oil derricks on wheels to desecrate this beautiful drag strip? Well, me neither but I can't run until they do!"
