Taken at the Southern Nationals in 1996. What's happened to Whit this season?

Wayne.

Being a father and husband. I hope to see him next year

Still looking for a ride after losing the Matco Tools digger job.

Tim Wilkerson

Thanks Jeff. Wow, I did not know Wilk was racing in the AA/FC category back then. I bet his NAPA deal was a lot less than Ron Capp's deal with NAPA. Of course every deal was a lot smaller back in 1996 than today. I don't recall ever seeing Tim Wilkerson back then. He must have attended selective races.

And YEAH, I hope Whit is back next year in Funny Car too, but it is gonna be tough in FC with all the good cars/racers competing now. Top Fuel is less crowded now based on the car counts. This VEGAS race will have some more carnage with several good teams not qualifying in FC.

Jeff, hope you can get back out there and mix it up with everyone again soon.

the smokin' joes 'ford mustang'.........
had to have been around the same time force was switching to
or had just switched to ford.

Force switched to Mustangs in early 1997. If my memory is correct, Tony started the year in a Mustang and John switched around Houston of that year.
