We were blessed with a run of 4.990 at 288.55 mph on 4/9/1988, the day that seemed to demand it. What a change in the sport since thirty years before, like this picture of my 1958 dragster in the lower right hand of this picture- with Cushman motorscooter front wheels, and a Pontiac v-eight...

Love that color choice. You are doing Texas proud! :thumbsup Congratulations. Cheers, Eddie

Wow! Just Wow!! :thumbsup

Yeah, he did it right!

Excellent post, Tomy. Here's wishing you and Sue health and happiness in the new year. :thumbsup

Happy Birthday DBK. And thank you for this forum! (Without this forum, I doubt that I would have made it on the new GT approved list, so big special thanks for that!)

He and his family were racing while we were, and we really admired their family involvement. His passion and dedication was a real inspiration, a high water mark for anyone who aspired to excel. A life well lived. May he rest in peace.

Thank you for all those pictures. It is hard to decide which looks better- above or below.

I liked it better when you could build a faster car, bike, or boat, and win with it. BOP seems to me like reverse incentive.

Happy Birthday, and may you have many, many, more, and enjoy them all in good health.

Even though it has been ten years, it still makes me smile every time I see it. Cheers, Eddie FourFather Hill :biggrin

Thanks, Tomy. Was this before your time? The Freeway dragstrip, Houston, 1958, run by the Gay family. That is me in the right front of this picture, with my Cushman scooter front wheels and hubs. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun! Cheers, Eddie FourFather Hill

Thank you, STORMCAT! I made my self a mental note to call Darrell- and then I guess I lost my note- I need to do that! All the best, Eddie FourFather Hill

Thank you, sir. I just feel very fortunate and blessed to have been able to chase my dreams for these many years. May God bless you and yours- Eddie FourFather Hill

Thank you Mike. I filled in a bit more story, in post 13. Best wishes, Eddie FourFather Hill

Thanks, Cobraguy! That was a very intense weekend for us, repeated lows early on, then incredible highs as it started going our way. Cheers, Eddie FourFather Hill

Thank you CJ428. God has, and continues to bless, us, as I hope he does for you and yours. Cheers, Eddie FourFather Hill

Thanks, Tony! I just posted "the rest of the story" Cheers, Eddie

Thanks, Apollo, appreciate it! :thumbsup Eddie

Thanks Mike, for the kind words. Both Ercie and I were impressed that you remembered the 4.93 we turned while winning the final over Joe Amato. We actually "outran ourselves" for the national record of 4.93, because of the 1% backup rule. If we had run 4.94 in the final, that would have stood...
