Hi all. Check out the YouTube video series on the "Surfers" 60`s top fuel team. This is totally fascinating stuff. For those of you who don`t know, Tom Jobe and Bob Skinner decided to go top fuel racing in the early 60`s. They were totally bucks down but had a lot of brains and mechanical skill! So they built a car using mostly "junk" parts (and some good stuff), got Mike Sorokin to drive, and went on a 2 year rampage beating almost everybody in the class! Then, just after the U.S. Nationals, they quit! Just walked away! Sadly mike was killed in a racing accident and the other two went on to bigger and better things. You really need to watch this! Awesome insight into fuel racing in the 60`s. So grab your favorite beverage, pull up a chair, and have at it!
