History Lyle fisher original hotrod builder

He may be up there in years but he knows what time it is about his cars ..etc

 

Does he refer to himself in 3rd person? Or is this someone you know?

 

Billy is confused, more so than normal.

 

Good start to a thread.

 

he is alert as hell and does not refer to himself in 3rd person

 

..i know him well..right now hes telling us about eviel knievel staying on his couch for 6 months and the times they had in tucso

 

Fred says that's a nice pic. Fred isn't voting because he's afraid. Shit! Now I'm doing it!

 

The voting booth at the top of the page doesn't seem to have clear options, much like Novembers possibly.

 

Awesome plan. Pop onto a forum and post about yourself.

Larry thinks it's hilarious.

 

LARRY, will NOT be MOCKED!

 

Sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

 

Im not fisher...he isnt hep to online stuff..i posted this on my own and told him after

 

Explaining that in the beginning would have saved a lot of....... naw it's okay. I was bored. Thanks.

 

We were sitting around and he was saying how he doubts anyone knows about him ,like being first to go 200 mph ...so i googled his name and.....damn if they dont ....then this site came up and i decided to see just who does remember him

 

Not a problem

 

So another awesome idea. Sign onto a forum with somone else's name as your " handle " or username.

Don't tell anyone who you are or why you joined or posted.

Larry thinks you are weird and he is not impressed

 

So my question ....anyone out there know of him and what he did

 

Not trying to impress..just hoping to hear from people who remember him so i can brighten an old racers day

 

He was inducted into International Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 1994, same year as Garlits, Wally Parks, Vic Edelbrock, Sr and Robert Peterson.

Nice of you to show him that he isnt forgotten. Wait for awhile after the trolls are done and the old timers have a chance to reply

Post deleted, my error. It is cool that his same by the same name also held records on the salt. Historic hot rod family.

This is a very confusing thread. Sorry I opened it.

 

That's some impressive company!

 

The legendary grudge matches at the old Paradise Mesa strip east of San Diego between the Speed Sport Special and the Bean Bandits is unforgettable! the ultimate definition of a pavement shaker.

 

Everybody's heard of the Speed Sport Roadster. Assume it's the same Lyle Fisher? Yeah I've heard of him. Probably has some great stories.
