Mr Hilborn was ahead of his time, for sure.

"Shunned by his peers, he refined the design to be the first to propel a race car over the magical 150mph mark at the dry lakes."

That says a lot for the man. He hung in there and now almost everything is Fuel Injected in Racing.

Rest In Peace, You EARNED a long rest.
