Curtiss SB2C that I found in the jungle on Saipan in the Mariana Islands. It was next to the remains of an old Japanese airfield on the north end of the island.

That's my car. The rollbar isn't aluminum, it's stainless steel, made by Mazdaspeed.

Some people in that thread didn't like the pinned connections, I thought perhaps they didn't like it because of their bias against aluminum. Funny that it's not even aluminum - jokes on them.

Yuppers. He held the blown fuel hyro record at 229 mph for years, but then he blew it over and nearly got killed.
He told his crew chief to explain exactly why it crashed and what he did to prevent it from happening again or he (Eddie) wouldn't get back in the boat. He never did.

Instead he went back to top fuel dragsters where it's safe.

I thought so...

Back in about 1995 or so (a couple of years after his Top Fuel championship year), I took my then five or six year old son to the Fall Nats at Seattle International Raceways. Got rained out...

As we were making our way back to my car, wandering through the pits, Mr. Hill hollered at us from under his pit canopy "hey, come in out of the rain!". So we did. We wound up spending the rest of the afternoon with him, eating hot dogs off of his grill and drinking cokes from his cooler. Even though we missed the races that day, my now 25 year old son recalls it as one of his favorite race day memories. Mr. Hill is a fine gentleman and a wonderful story teller.
