WHO'S THE BABE

The babe in the picture is Hillary Will. Driver of the KB Racing Top Fuel Dragster. 8000 Horsepower that runs 335 mph in the Quarter mile. I got to meet her at the Memphis Motorsports Park. She just won the inagural running of the Scott Kalitta Memorial in Sydney, Australia. Scott was her teammate and like a big brother to her. He died in a tragic racing qualifying run at Englishtown, New Jersey, on June 21, 2008. I got to meet Hillary in August 2006 when I went to my first NHRA event in Memphis since 1974. I knew right then who it was I was gonna pull for in Top Fuel from then on. She is one, if not THE one, of the nicest people in NHRA Drag Racing. Don't get me wrong, I got to meet a lot of the NHRA drivers. Tony Schumacher, Larry Dixon, Greg Anderson, John Force,(he's in a class all by himself) Ashley Force,(who recently got married) Gary Scelzi(please come back) and the two who stand out on their own, Jack Beckman(cooliest guy ever) and Steve Johnson(Lets just say "Wacked Out") They are all #1 in my book. I've been back every year they come to Memphis, and I plan on going back each and every year till I can't physically make it anymore. If you ever get a chance to go to an NHRA Full Throtle event, it will definetly be worthwhile. And while your there, look up Hillary Will and tell her Jeff sent ya.
