Survived the crash at Firebird in '84, going through traps at 217, earlier when running an A/Fuel boat, I think at St. Louis, he went over the deck and he tripped the clocks at 166, that's he, not the boat, just him skipping across the finish line, tripping the clocks with his body. Pretty sure that would have ended anybodys' boat racing career, but he went blown shortly after that, finally setting speed record at 229, a record that stood for most of ten years. The man was awesome to watch. A good read from NHRA Top 50. http://www.nhra.net/50th/top50/E_Hill14.html Last edited by 23T Hemmee; 11/03/15 05:02 AM.
