Re: John Force Burnout 1995
Unofficial 'current' burnout king is "Norm Wilding' who did a 1300 ft burnout during the 92 season, w/ Force in the other lane doing is usual deal.
Norm received a plaque from NHRA for the effort---

That would have indeed been .. me! And not only was it self proclaimed, but John and Coil threw in the towel and handed the reign to me. Granted Dean did a great burnout, but he used a throttle stop, which makes him the Prince of Burnouts! Sorry Dean .. I just had to say it!
And I cetainly agree with a post that Minick was the original King .. and no one has ever matched the Chi Town Hustler for incredible crowd pleasing burnouts.

No offense but funny car doesn't "Need" anymore drivers that class is competitive as it has ever been. Top fuel needs more cars and drivers.

I would have loved to have been there to witness that! Hopefully KC gets the backing, he was always one of my favorites. I was there when he returned to win the Winters in `94.

Re: John Force Burnout 1995
Hey Chris....lets just say it was very entertaining and almost has scary fun as when Paul Smith beat up Bob Brandt (talking smack about Danielle) in between two trailers to which I helped stop or Paul would of been in jail for the damage-
I have always enjoyed Spurlock and would love to see him out there in a fuel coupe.
