What a weekend

[adjones419]

So I just got back from meeting Eddie Hill (aka "The Texan") in Tulsa to deliver my Hondo runnerbottom to him. What an awesome guy! Stopped in St. Louis on the way back and picked up my new ride...an '85 ex-PGF Mako runnerbottom. I'll post pics soon. By the way, if you ever have to spend a night in Tulsa, I highly recommend visiting "Night Trips."

He just wants to use it as a lake hotrod. 71 years old and he still has the need for speed...unbelievable! I think I'd have a hard time keeping up with him, and I'm just a young pup.

A Jones did you get pics with him and your old boat? Great story. Good luck with your new project.

Ron Sapp bought this Mako brand new in '85 after he crashed a Cole down in Texas. He did the bottom, rigged it, and painted it. I'm going to pull the hardware and have it re-anodized, so I'll get some pics up of the progress. It will hopefully be running Pro Eliminator next year with a BBC blown and injected on alcohol.

I got the camera out only to realize that the batteries were dead! He gave us a bunch of autographed posters, pictures, and die-casts from the Pennzoil top fuel dragster. We met at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit just west of Tulsa where Eddie was racing his new Ariel Atom. Talk about a cool looking little car!
