The other racer I used to get a kick out of watching was the dude with the white hair and beard whose big-boobed ol' lady used to run bouncing and swinging down the track to give him some love every time he won a race. What was his name again?

That was Eddie Hill and his wife....Ercie I think. Tried to kill himself in drag boat racing way back when...finally moved over to top fuel and still tore some stuff up in his day. I think hes still doing a little exhibition racing now and then.
John Force is the champion of all champions. 15 championships, 25 years with Castrol and he said they signed another 5 yrs earlier in the year. The force team has pioneered so much technology that I dont think the sport would be where its at if it wasnt for him and Austin Coil. The wife and I were exstatic when he won...after the crash in Dallas in 07 I didnt think he would make it back to that level. Im glas I was proven wrong.
