My favorite was Jungle Jim Liberman mr 100 mph in reverse after burnouts. but hats off to Big Daddy Don that's outstanding

Ive been to his house at least once a year he's 91 years old and still building dragsters and tests them in his driveway lol black lines up and down his driveway. But someone beat him to 200mph I think his name is Steve Huff he went 201mph 2 years ago.
