Art & Inspiration Tom Fritz "Seven Point Three Four"

A new one from Tom Fritz.
"Seven Point Three Four"

 

"A Tad Rabid"

 

Eddie Hill, The Land and Water Champion.

 

Since someone apparently thinks Eddie Hill was a latecomer to drag racing and reported my post as period incorrect, here is a little history lesson.
"Hill raced at open competitions and Top Fuel events from 1955 until he retired in 1966. After opening a motorcycle shop, he returned several years later to race motorcycles. He started racing drag boats after attending a drag boat event in 1974 and he won championships in all of the major boat drag racing sanctioning bodies."
Granted the picture that I posted was a painting of his "Last Ride" I was referring to his long illustrious earlier career.

 

Eddie Hill the "Four Father"!

 

I thought it was 7 . 6 2. Millimeter,,Joker ?

Sorry,,,I had a flashback to Full Metal Jacket ,,,LoL.


Tommy

 

I remember Eddie running 300mph with the mag hanging off the side of the engine by the wires.

 

Why was the picture removed?

 

The picture was the famous "Eddies Last Ride" painted by I believe Kenny Bernstein and was in his Second go around. Edit, Kenny Youngblood was the painter.

 

Gonna get us back on track.
