2022 12th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - Time To Burn Some More NITRO!!!
Blast from the past.
I turn on the World Finals today and find this youngster in her "tribute" car to her late father Bobby Baldwin qualified for TF. :D
I worked with her dad on a couple of different jobs in the LA Basin when I was an apprentice.
He was an owner/operator water truck driver for the general contractor I worked for on some freeway construction jobs.
While I worked with him I never heard him mention he was a drag racer, let alone a TF racer.
I lost touch with him when I was transferred to this part of the state for another job.
A few years after that I'm reading my work partner's National Dragster and see Bobby's picture in it next to a TF car "Hey Jack! I knew this guy!"
"Oh yeah. That's Bobby Baldwin, outa LA, races TF part time."
Small world :)
