2 guys from WI made the Hot Rod Pump gas drags and was just wondering who they were and was just wondering about there cars.
Todd Herr from Janesville with a 72 Nova and Richard O'Shea with a 81 cutlass. Is the cutlass the one from Sketters show? Good luck guys.

As much as I want to root on the locals, this one is my fav :headbang http://www.hinsonsupercars.com/DSC02224small.JPG
He had some bad luck with the car last year, alternator took a crap on the drive and then hit the wall after the motor let loose 1000' out.

speaking of fast cars, does anyone know the old guy that lives in Raymond that has the 1100 hp 72 Chevelle? The guy is seriously 90 years old. I believe he is the oldest licensed NHRA driver....I will see what I can dig up on him

Todd has a Green 72 nova, BBC with spray. The picture of the car is above in another post. The 65 chevelle that Flicktitty was aludeing to is Bubba's.

I'm just praying that they will run the event next year so I can try to make it in. The talk was to cancel it this year.
