I VOTE FOR THIS GUY............. WOLFGANG KREUTZER (WHITE LIGHTNIN) THIS IS ONE OF HIS MANY CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING FLATBOTTOMS A '76 HONDO. THIS BOAT RAN HARD BUT WAS CRASHED ON THE PARKER STRIP NOT LONG AFTER HE SOLD IT TO SOME DICK WHO HAD HIS HEAD UP HIS ASS!!! THERE ARE MANY DRIVERS I GREW UP AROUND THAT RACED NDBA. WHAT ABOUT TED FAGART WHO KICKED ASS IN THE PRO STOCK FLAT CLASS IN NO OTHER THAN A "CURTIS". HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO STOP USING THE "UP" PEDAL. HOW COOL WERE THOSE DAYS FOR DRAG BOATS, THEY RAN AT MING,IRVINE,PARKER,FIREBIRD,LONG BEACH,NEEDLES.......... eek!

I would have to say Al Bush as one of my old time favorites. I know a couple aren't from Bakersfield but I thought they were pretty cool. Can't forget the Texan!!! I have a bunch more I'll post later.
