Looking for something to do with my eleven year old grandson today so I took him to comma weekend at hallet. There was an Ariel atom running so I just had to go take a closer look. Some of you old dragster farts may recognize the name on the car. Here's a link to his bio.

First man over 300 in Top Fuel! Was that his entertainment ride?

Glad to see Eddie and Ercie are still around. I looked up to him as a budding hot rodder growing up in Wichita Falls, and got to meet him several times buying stuff from his Kawasaki/Honda motorcycle dealership.

They're both really good people.

GA, really missing one of my fav tracks, Hallett Motor Speedway...
