Thanks for the reminder on that one LOL There is a story behind that day it was my first race after HAwleys school on that pass i ran beside John Powell when he was driving Ettermans's Dragster i was i think 23 then the next pass there was 2 oil downs in front of me it was like 90 degrees out that day i sat in the car for over a hour in firesuit, helmet and all so dumbass me pulled up there for burnout over reaved the Engine and kicked the rods right out of it... But let me tell ya it was one hell of a burnout needless to say Dad wasnt very happy that was in 1994 didnt get the car back out till 97 oo well kinda cool seeing a picture of that ole turd with Donovan LOL

chris when that picture of the lincoln doing a burn out was taken you should have seen it there was a french maid backing me up after the burn out the place was going crazy in indy

 

Pic #22 brings back alot of memories.
What a great group of pics.

 

Brad i was wandering in the WOrld Famous Hal Canode car if that was you or him driving couldnt really tell

 

Cool photos, but kinda sad too...a lot guys on there not racing anymore.

 

Photo's

Thanks for the great pictures. I've been looking for photo's of my old car and ordered some today. Thanks!

 

Wasn't me.
Didn't Dan Nimmo originally drive your dragster. I thought the windows were for him. Wasn't he about 2 feet shorter than you?

 

We need some pictures of both the Zizzo cars stuffed in their goose neck trailer at the same time.

Can you help us out T?

 

I'm not sure if anyone ever took pictures of that or not.

Those were interesting and fun times for sure. Two roots blower TAD's run out of a little T&E trailer. It really sucked loading that deal in the rain at Kilkare.

At Rt66 we ran 5.68(and still missed the show by a tenth) with T.J's car and 5.75 with Senior's car. Not to long after that we made the decision to go top fuel racing. Man, what were we smokin'?

 

Well the window's were built for Nimmo but he never made a pass in it.. It was Only me that was before we painted it or Brando did.... What ever happened to Brando anyone know...... he made that Hustlin Hoosier design.... he was amazing !!!! Tony i remember you guys loading them two cars quiet a few times.. it was a sight to see ...
