I always liked Eddie. The most dapper guy in drag racing. I never knew he ran Pontiac back in the day.

Hi, This is Eddie Hill, and I just saw this forum today.

I was referred here by 400 4 speed Steve, and I registered today, this is my first post here.

Thanks for all the kind words and positive comments, and posting the neat pictures of some of my toys I have enjoyed through the years.

I was born on March 6, 1936, (the 100th anniversary of the battle of the Alamo) and am now 83, but still healthy and racing and highly blessed by the good Lord.

Ercie and I are currently racing a Pro Formula Mazda road racer that I converted from unblown gas to blown alcohol, still using the Mazda Renesis rotary engine like the RX-8 street car. Big fun.

Cheers, Eddie FourFather Hill

welcome Mr. Hill!

A couple of things jump out at me looking at old dragster pics is first they were very tidy and super sorted out looking, extra nice. And also there was an eye for style, I mean, they all looked Cool. Twin engine is a memory favorite.
