cool guy, great story teller, still kicken a$$,
I've seen him many times over the years,
1st Top Fuel race was 1971, he's in his mid-late 80's now,
I'm not sure he should be driving a Top Fuel car anymore,
but he's been doing longer, than allot of drivers have been alive...

Well, if he couldn't pass the physical, he wouldn't be driving.....
Did anyone see the feature on him? He was a guard at the Nuremberg Trials after WWII. He had other WWII stories, too. He may be cutting a year or two off his age if he's saying he's "only" 82. We've enjoyed visiting his pits at some races over the past few years. It's like taking a step back 30 years - small trailer pulled by a Dodge dually, small crew and operation. Really cool old school experience.
