Crizila Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 He is always at the NHRA museum during the finals at Pomona on Friday evening.
Dave Van Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Dad worked with TV Tommy while Valvoline racing director 1960-70. Tommy was the only driver Mom got excited about meeting!! I love to see him again. GREAT build!
Force Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Very nice model. I met Tommy at the NHRA Dragracing Museum in Pomona a couple of years ago right before his 80th birthday...a very nice guy indeed, here is a photo of me and him in front of this particular car.
High octane Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 That's a beautiful model of Ivo's dragster and I got to meet him back in 2007 at the Holley National Hot Rod Reunion. Truly a great guy.
Crizila Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 Hope he hangs in there for a while. My hero's are dropping like flies lately. I will be at the finals in Pomona in a few months and maybe I will run in to him again.
xsthomas Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I remember seeing Ivo race at Suffolk Raceway in Suffolk ,Va in the mid 70's. He had the the carrier with the glass sides. We live about 25 miles from 2 drag strips.
