The Goo$e drove the Blue Max in I believe 1987 at the special Winston All-Stars at the Texas Motorplex. There was a small Coors decal (McEwen's sponsor at the time) behind the front wheel on both sides. They referred to him that weekend as "The Blue Goo$e".

Can anyone confirm that Eddie Hill drove for Darrell Gwynn.

I remember him borrowing a Gwynn car, but not driving for Darrell.

Borrowed a car, but never drove "for" D. Gwynn Racing.

Just covering all bases. The question reads "Name the drivers who have driven Darrell Gwynn's dragsters." Hill did borrow a Darrell Gwynn dragster, therefore he has driven one of Darrell Gwynn's dragsters!

EDIT-- I am so glad there are other people out there that store so much drag racing crap in their brains. LOL

Was Meyer after Rogers? I remember that Rogers started 93 with a win in Pomona and then a win in Memphis and then after that the performance really feel off, and I thought a crew chief change occured in the second part of 93.

#41 12-09-2007, 10:46 AM

Yes, Meyer was after Rogers. Meyer was there already there as a "consultant" though.
