The "King of drag racing" really? I never though of him as that. Just another fast talker,slow thinker that got caught.

My guess is that he has the money to pay this back.

Evans dad owned some oil fields in Texas, he had just sub contracted the oil recovery to a huge 3rd party firm. Well what they found out offer 40 years of collecting, this company had only been claiming they were taking about 50% of what they actually were.


Evans father and mother were given over 600 million dollars in back payments from the company. His father died shortly after.

Evan ran most everything he did for Nhra on pure interest from what they had.

I watched the news report last night about him getting
moneys back on fuel excise taxes.
It was so easy, he kept on doing it, illegally of course to
the tune of around One Hundred Million.

But I was chomping on tater chips, so I don't if I heard
all the facts right........

His rants on nitromater were hilarious, equal to or better than Barry Grant's.

"on the back of taxpayers"

he's a petty thief compared to the banksters and criminals of wall street, they've robbed us of billions or maybe even a trillion or more dollars without ever spending a day in jail.

i need to go take my blood pressure meds now

I remember when the story broke. They were blaming it on brain damage from a car wreck.

Evan must have graduated from JCIT.
