    In case you haven't already heard, Roger Coburn underwent 12hrs of heart surgery to repair a ruptured Aorta. Say a prayer for the "Quiet Giant's" recovery....

    I'm sure your refering to the Roger Coburn of Warren & Coburn fame, right? Those guys owned the top gas dragster class during the heyday of drag racing. I've got a large picture of the two of them sitting in the garage that they maintained the dragster in. You would not believe the humble surroundings that produced those E.T.'s. I watched them run a few times in the 60's and they WERE the team to beat.
    Prayers going out to Roger for a full recovery. Please keep us informed of his progress.

    From cacklefest.com, a shot of Roger Coburn (hand on cage) and the Ridge Route Terror team's fueler from 1967 or so. Photo is by Forrest Bond and was featured in Drag Racing magazine, Modern Rod or one of them back then.[/I]
